QuickTip: You Can Now Like Comments on Facebook

So I'm easing back into T4L posts again and thought I would start with something I rarely say: Facebook did something good! :)

For a long time, you've been able to Like a status update or link or photo that your friends have posted. However, in a lot of cases, the comments that other friends made on the post were more interesting/funny than the original. Then you'd often see comments along the lines of, "I wish I could 'Like' your comment!" Well... now you can!

I don't know why the still refuse to add a Dislike option for posts, because I see that requested even more than this one. But, for now, I'll just enjoy the fact they finally added a new feature that I actually "Like"!

Not Liking All This Facebook Liking Stuff

Okay, I'll be the first to admit I wasn't a big fan of the term "fan page" to describe Facebook's pages for businesses and other branded entities. But at least the invitation to "Become a fan!" worked pretty well as a simple call to action. Now what are we page admins supposed to say? "Please [...]
