Hey Why so much gaand ? When people "like" something, i take it that its just a spontaneous reaction to something they see, which they feel they should enjoy (ad's, profile pics, weekends etc), to which they feel they should contribute but have not got time for it ( tsunami victims etc), to which they ought to show interest to but cant find an easier way of doing it (i wish), etc etc. There is a reason for everything la .. like me posting this now after so long a time, as anonymous.. etc. :):)

I personally feel that, I like some on Fb, if it means the same as i thought.. So if its like may his soul RIP, and there are likes.. it means so many people feel the same.. maybe the like button should be renamed :)

@vidya, anonymous aka praveen :D :D

aren we trivialising by pressing like? like we press like and thats it. due respect to the information is not given. lets say. RIP. u click like, it means wat u like d person is dead? or u like the fact that he rests in peace? or r u feeling bad? that means like? c'mon its not making sense
