sknebel yes, there's definitively some weird overlap between a like that's almost a (very low-bandwidth) personal message and like as "tiny part of a arbitrary number signaling popularity". Silos add at least "like as bookmark" (I'm guilty of that on twitter as well) and "like as chance of retweet" (=e.g. twitter or Facebook showing something to my followers because I liked it)
