I
like Likes But Favor Comments
(an
online reaction dedicated to all writers and all readers)
I
like likes but favor comments.
Words
give rise
To
something more complex
And
bona fide.
When
looking into me, my mind,
I
find I’m often lazy, hazy -
In
which case I use a Like.
Psyche
gets a certain kick
From
folk who bother with a Like;
But
there’s a deeper need for straight,
Upfront
commitment, confirmation;
Validation
without ego! That’s the trick!
Even
when a strong critique,
Comments
are a consolation:
Comfort
and approval.
Views
don’t have to love all,
But
a comment turns the tide
To
luck constructive and instructive
Plucking
out the best in you
And
licking ego
Healthily.
Like is almost
tepid. Near insipid. Nod of head.
Words are hot.
And
commenting has got
To
to be the better
choice,
Giving
voice to entering another’s life;
To
taking part in art;
To
someone’s heart.
So
from heart to you,
Say
a word or two.
It
will do
Wonders
In
abundance.

Facebook was launched on 4 February 2004. Just 5 years later, on 9 February 2009 the site enable its "like" button as one of its social plug-ins, in which the button can be placed on 3rd-party websites. Its use centers around a kind of advertising network in which it gathers information about which users visit which websites. Once clicked by a user, the "liked" content appears in the News Feeds of that user's friends, and the button also displays the number of other users who have liked the content, including a list of those users. The ability to like users' comments was added in June 2010, and the ability to react with a pre-defined emotion (Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, or Angry) was added in May 2012.
