What is the like feature? And where does the sharing go? I liked something just to see what happened, but it didn't really answer my Q.
"liking" and "sharing"

It looks like a plugin similar to the old "Thanks!" button. I'm not sure if it's anonymous or not, though.
The "Share" link lets you share the post on other websites (Digg, Del.icio.us, Technorati, and Twitter, in this case).

That's awkward. It shows a heart icon next to "You like this."

Yeah, and it says who likes this. When I liked something I only saw "you liked this," or something, so I didn't even know if that showed up or was anonymous or what.

AND you get likes notices! And there's a like tree! This, like anything, will take some getting used to, but I like the ability to put your name with your approval!

FYI... I received a notification that you liked my post. That in addition to having your "like" appear beneath the post.
edit: Ah, I see you've discovered that too.

Maybe they aren't redundant. We like some things that aren't particularly helpful, though generally we like things that are helpful. That's kind of like how you can have stink without a skunk, but normally not a skunk without a stink. Knowwhatimean?

If we could only have one, I'd rather have the like button.

I could see using both. I knew I liked the public praise, but I guess I like the anonymous one as well, because I'm still finding things useful. I like the general "nice point" expressed in that, but think I'll use the like to show more solidarity.

Seeing the heart next to a man's name under my post is a little creepy, though I often put ♥ when commenting on prayer requests, even when they are written by men.

You think that's creepy? It's worse when I see a heart next to a man's name under my post.

Wonder if I get a prize for starting what has to be the most well-liked thread yet! Nine likes at last count!

There is an "unlike" button.

I agree---I often find a well-stated opposing view to be helpful. That's different, in my opinion, than liking something, which I view as akin to agreeing with it. I may also like something said that isn't helpful to me---maybe I thought the same thing, but another poster beat me to writing it or said it better than I ever could.

I tried it in another thread out of sheer curiosity. I sure wish I could retract it.
Perhaps we need a "Redact Like" button as well. (Moderators likely can do this for us though).

Yep, for me, too

That's been there for a while. It feeds into your Facebook page, I believe.

Actually, the one we're talking about showed up yesterday but didn't have anything to do with FB, from what I could see. The "Share" button may have, but clicking the "Like" button simply put a heart and your name above where the green thumb/helpful text is now. We're not referencing the blue FB button that is still visible at the top of the OP. This was in each post, like "Thanks" used to be and "Helpful" is now.
