Facebook Adds Commenting to the 'Like' Button, Infinite Possibilities Emerge
While this may make for entertaining and lively discussion on your Feed, companies are hoping that users giving the "thumbs up" to their brand will encourage commenting. The now-ubiquitous "like" button can then spawn an impromptu love session, celebrating and praising organizations, objects and advertisers who have bought into the Facebook API. All will be well in the Web 2.0 experience.
Unless, of course, you don't want to be solicited by said companies you "like." Because, along with the commenting addition, Facebook has also enabled advertisers and brands to contact their "likers," offering promotions or announcements of the item in question. Of course, those who aren't interested in turning into walking brand advertisements probably shouldn't "like" brands or products to begin with, but sometimes the temptation to "be the first of your friends" to give something the seal of approval is too much.

I have never been solicited by any brand or store or any organization I’ve “liked” on Facebook. If someone were to start some kind of weird string of comments & “likes” on something I posted I would, first of all, not worry about it because as long as they don’t do it all the time it’s not the end of the world (“The world may collapse in on itself“), exaggerate much? You can always just delete the damn comments if you don’t like them! If it was the same person again & again I would ask them to stop, or if it were really “that bad”, delete them. There is definitely an anti-Facebook theme to the articles posted on here, very dramatic and exaggerated and it’s just getting petty and lame.

Simple solution, don't "like" any product. FB is for keeping up with friends/relatives out of state or country, not for rating products and/or services anyway.

I'm sick and tired of 'liking' & 'commenting' on everything. How about a 'dislike' button, facebook???

I loathe FB and everything it has spawned! No one answers email anymore. I just get these messages in my inbox and to read the message I have to log on to FB. Since some of theses messages contain info I need I have no choice.
I can't wait for the day when FB collapses in on itself!

FB desperately needs a "DISLIKE" button!!! I hope FB is reading this comment!

First off I wish I could just send gifts like it ask me to do. On farmville, which it sends you to when you are trying to accept a gift that some one sent you. I have written you a number of times that I am having a problem with this. And I never get an answer. It showes me all the right tools to do so. But it has no send button. I don't know if I did something to it or not. But it is very irratating tp say the lest. And every time I try to go to frontier it freezes. I guess that is my computer. Ok non other games.
