Twitter planning to get rid of ‘Likes’; Does Gatorchatter follow?

[Tay Bang]

Twitter is reportedly set to scrap its “like” feature, a move that would be intended to improve the overall quality of the interactions on the platform.

According to a report by the Telegraph, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told employees at an in-house event last week that he “was not a fan of the heart-shaped button” and that the social service would be eliminating it “soon.”

The possible elimination of the concept of “likes” on Twitter comes as the company has focused on improving the “health” of the service to block abusive users and behavior.
is focusing on making the social network “more conversational, which is Twitter’s superpower,” he added.

Does Gator Chatter follow? Maybe Byrd would have stayed if you mean girls didn't use the dislike button so "abusively".

Is Twitter Planning to Get Rid of ‘Likes’?

Gatorchatter is built off of the Facebook, not the Twitter. Didn’t you see the age range of the Users here?

Don't you mean MySpace and LiveJournal?

Nah. I'm wrong. When we were kids it was 1200 baud modems, dialups, and text based BBSs.

So they are saying that likes kill the conversation? So instead of clicking like, it’s better to respond with “I like that.”

I disagree. I’d rather someone not respond unless they have something actually worth saying. The ratings system helps avoid a lot of the crap.

I don't like it.

With my boss’s constant degradation, my wife’s nagging, and my dog ignoring me for anything food related, those thumbs up are the only reason I have to see the sun rise (other than football Saturday’s, post Mac).

Please don’t.

Does Twitter give Oxbucks if you get a like? No?

Well then, I don't care.

Who you calling we? It was three channels. It was play outside till dark. It was a dial phone sometimes on a party line. A mobile phone was when they came out with the LONG CORD. It was creative active play instead of all the passivity involved with the interweb. You're welcome.

Yeah, that's Twitter's problem.

And if our dark Lord gets rid of the drunk/facepalm feature, I'm calling for a revolt.

Yep. I’d rather have a like button than somebody quoting the entire post and then doing +1.

I can’t deal with Longcat.

I guess we kind of followed Mac for a second after the Ole Miss blowout?

 

[RocketCityGator]

Instead of less button, I want more. Angry, sad, laughing (both with you and at you, especially the at you), etc.
