I kinda like the "like" feature. I think it actually saves me time. Sometimes I check out the updates to someones journal and there are new posts that I "like" but don't feel compelled to comment on - so I "like" them. In the past I probably would have waited until I felt more compelled to post.
I mostly use them in situations where I really agree with a post or really like a picture. Sometimes someone says something that I agree with wholeheartedly, and couldn't say it any better -- "Like" in that instance.
It's quick, immediate feedback too. Anything that compels people to share more knowledge is good I think, and everyone appreciates kind feedback.
For the record - I appreciate "likes" a lot, but I don't plan on personally acknowledging them all. If someone takes the time to post - I almost always respond, but I don't see "likes" as a necessity to respond to - though I "love" getting them!
I'm curious what other people think...
