Okay-so I’m not a psychologist.  It isn’t even my field, but the whole idea of “like” is changing right before our eyes.  Facebook has taken “like” to a whole new interesting and non-committal way.  The ubiquity of the “like” button – on so many websites has made “liking” something so easy – so emotion-less.  You can “like” anything.  We are being conditioned to Facebook “like” everything.  It’ll soon shape the way we “like” anything without that Facebook button.
