I'm old guard, and don't think I like the 'Like' button.  Just doesn't feel like WG to me.

If someone likes a post, then post a note saying so.

The like button is waaaay too much Facebook.  Obviously, I'm not a Facebook fan.  In my opinion, get rid of the like button.

I like to ride to a friends place, then use their equipment to like my own posts.

What a waste of bandwidth this has turned into. I don't really care if someone likes my post. I like my post, that's what matters to me. You don't like my post then just don't read it.

Could you get me a button on my posts that would get me a dollar from an individual's PayPal account every time they clicked it. I would really like that!

It's refreshing to see so much anti facebook sentiment here. The LIKE button on facebook has a different function however as it is linked to insidious ratings and who knows what. I hate that.
I am on another forum with LIKES and quite often I get a few. Being the eternal egotist I always get a warm glow when someone enjoys one of my rants. It's the opposite of being ignored  and it does sweeten my feel for saying what I really think. Usually I'm trying to help someone with a technical problem so it's not all bad, but sometimes it's just an opinion that can be taken any way you like. [LIKE]
So as a simple acknowledgement which a simple straightforward person would imagine, I believe the LIKE button is just friendly and nice while I believe many facebook functions like LIKE  are insidious methods for gathering of personal profiles which can be  and often are   used for nefarious purposes such as the 20 Million profiles stolen from Facebook to help  advertising companies that target certain profiles for unfair advantage.
