Swizzle does clicking on the like button actually DO anything worthwhile when you click on it? I know you already need to be logged on to Facebook to have it register a like on the comment but it's not like it shows up in your notifications on Facebook. I've "liked" a bunch of stuff but I don't think anyone even notices.

Good question. I wasn't aware that you had to be logged on to FB for it to register but i do know that when someone does 'like' a post here it will show up on FB and say, "X liked this post on Tiki Central" and will provide a link back to it. However i'm pretty sure you will only see that (on your feed) if the person who liked the post on TC you are actually friends with on FB to begin with.

And something i just noticed is that i can see my comment has a like but hovering over the button it doesn't actually say who the member is that liked it. I thought the point of having that 'like' button here was two pronged and worked like it does on FB. 1.) So you could see how many people and who actually liked your post, and 2.) So that people could show their appreciation for your post without having to actually log in and leave an actual comment, but obviously it doesn't work that way.
