My first instinct was to look for the like button to show my agreement. I wonder now whether the lack of a quick way to give feedback/approval will make people more or less likely to engage with other posts...
probably less, because a "good post" comment requires more effort than clicking a button and people coming from Twitter or Tumblr will start with the attitude that "you don't comment unless you have something worth saying". Alas.
That makes sense. If the options are between 1) say nothing unless you have something well-thought and constructive to say, or 2) say whatever you’re thinking to engage with others, even if it’s only a few words, most people will go with option 1. Against all my internal programming, I might take a step out of my comfort zone and go with option 2.
