As far as the Facebook Like button on Tiki Central: I have no plans on ever using it and I probably won't notice if anyone on Facebook uses it as that site is so cluttered with re-posts a Like from Tiki Central would just be one more billboard along the Useless Crap Super Highway.***** I don't see how a Like button would currently work on Tiki Central unless the number of Likes floated a topic to the top of a list. Big deal. And I'd have no interest in a Like button along the lines of Facebook which would create a tally of names of users who Liked a post. Clutter like that belongs in Bilge. I also don't think such a button would cut down on "Looks great!" or "LOL! posts in threads any more than the Search feature has cut down on multiple threads being created which cover the same topic. *****In case you didn't know...If you want to attempt to share a Tiki Central post with your 500 Facebook friends you can just cut and paste the URL of the TC post and it will show up just like the 1500 YouTube links you see on Facebook every day.
