M.M. loves Facebook. Rabbim loves Facebook. Now I love Facebook too, as Rabbim uses it as advertising my newest posts. Looking at Facebook, however, I noticed a gadget which belongs on Conversations at the Dinner Table.
Beneath a posting on a wall, there always 3 choices for you. They are comment, like, and, share. While comment is sometimes used on this blog, and as far as I know share is used a lot (“Hey look, SLiM posted something new!”), like is not used.
Here’s how we’re going to work on this blog from now on. If you have the decency, time, patience, and idea to comment, you must do it. If you are missing either the decency, time, patience or ideas to comment, please use a differentiated version of like. I request that you write the following on “comment”: “Read your post,” and then sign your name. If you don’t want me to know that you read my post, sign off anonymously, I don’t care here.
But remember the deal. If you could comment, please do so.
I know this sounds desperate, but I feel like no one has read my post if I have no comments.
Other people may feel this way too, but to date, I have seen no requests like my own. If you want to add it to your blog, that’s fine.
Remember, I’m expecting at least 10 “comments” on every post from now on.

ReplyDeletei read this post (as well as all the other ones) and i want to say that i really enjoy them!
ReplyDeletekeep it up!
great idea!
if you go into the layout link on your dashboard and then in the box that says blog posts, click the edit button. that will open a page that says Configure Blog Posts on the top. once that's open, check off the box that says Reactions, and then add your own choices, so people can check off what they thought of your post
ReplyDeleteIsn't that what the counter is for?
ReplyDeleteI hate facebook and everything about, so if posting here is akin to that, I will no longer post.

ReplyDeleteFBB, I am quite sorry that you are upset over my comparison of commenting to facebook. I, however, was only trying to give the idea of how to post as "like", without saying that the Conversation would become some sort of exotic facebook page. Posting here is not akin to facebook in any way. Please continue commenting, as I and many others will be disappointed if we lose out on your enlightening comments.
