For birthdays i'll usually send them a private message (obviously for good friends i would not go the FB route). Yes, i was happy when i could click "unfollow" and not be inundated with comments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-397319 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:30:28 +0000 heffalump 397319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: I just find the like so much more impersonal, especially for things like a congrats. It is annoying that you have to see all of the other comments, but I think it's nice to put the effort of putting actual words down. Especially in a world where nobody sends snail mail cards anymore.To avoid that instead of replying on someone's comment/thread I will just write a separate post on their wall. I didn't even know you could unfollow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-397068 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:41:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 397068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm interesting thoughts here!! I love the idea of it too but I totally get what mamamoose and artbee are saying :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-397040 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:30:27 +0000 T-Mom 397040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think some kind of acknowledgement button such as a like would be good. sometimes people post things that people read, but no one bothers to comment. I think a like feature would encourage people to acknowledge at least, even if they don't want to take the time to comment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-397023 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:23:45 +0000 IcebergMom 397023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i agree. gotta keep the chatter up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396925 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:41:39 +0000 mrbee 396925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: I really value your opinion... so would love to hear your thoughts! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396916 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:38:24 +0000 BKCaribBaby 396916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Thanks, Mr. Bee! That was informative. I guess maybe I should just reply ditto. :) I'm only at the cherry level after all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396911 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:35:40 +0000 BKCaribBaby 396911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: No, not at all! That's why I was laughing. The joys of modern technology, right?! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396908 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:33:20 +0000 prettylizy 396908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: I meant that all in good fun- I hope it didn't come off as mean-- mostly because sometimes you don't know how to respond to a dying text conversation and a like would seal things up nicely! lol!</p> <p>@BabyBear: I THINK IT IS!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396896 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:30:31 +0000 BabyBear 396896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Is that the Pine Sol lady in a drawn form?! Hahaha.</p> <p>I agree with other PPs that a like button may take away from commenting. I do know there are times I want to go like a post and still comment though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396831 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:07:04 +0000 Freckles 396831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I can sometimes understand why people prefer to "like" rather than comment on a post. I once congratulated someone on a baby post, and i kept getting notifications every time someone commented after me! I think this was before they had the "unfollow post" option but i didn't really care to be notified 40x that other people said congrats. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396811 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:01:17 +0000 mrbee 396811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi there, @BKCaribBaby: ! :)</p> <p>Someone posted a similar suggestion here... I shared some of my thoughts there as well:<br /> <a href="http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/liking-comments" rel="nofollow">http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/liking-comments</a></p> <p>If we can figure out some of this stuff, we'd be open to building a like feature! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396758 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 10:45:38 +0000 BKCaribBaby 396758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Yikes! I am also LOL'ing at the same time. I hope I didn't come off that way. Sometimes people post great answers, and I feel like I have nothing else to add. I just want them to know that I like what they said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396652 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 10:10:21 +0000 fairefaire 396652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of consider the little heart/favorite button a "like" button. I've clicked it when I didn't really have anything to add but liked the thread, or wanted to 'save' the thread for future reference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396580 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:53:28 +0000 Mrsbells 396580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think sometimes a like button is good. I agree that it can reduce conversation but not always </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396576 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:52:16 +0000 prettylizy 396576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This post makes me think of this lol! </p> [attach=1542/12/mdhfzf.420x294.image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396567 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:49:43 +0000 BKCaribBaby 396567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Aaaahh...I didn't think of that. :) That's a great point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396566 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:49:19 +0000 heffalump 396566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to agree with @MamaMoose. It makes me sad when people like instead of comment on facebook. I always want more details, I want to know why they like something, and comments just make me so much happier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396560 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:46:12 +0000 MamaMoose 396560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I agree with you that sometimes I REALLY want a like button. I do think it would cut down on the number of comments and therefore be bad for the site and keeping things lively and active. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-like-button#post-396557 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:45:13 +0000 BKCaribBaby 396557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would be cool to have a "like" button on here. Sometimes i just want to give a high 5 to what someone said without having to actually reply to them and say that. Would this be possible, or am I just lazy and should reply anyway? :) </p>
