Re: BuddyPress Like

Like in and of itself isn’t useful. What’s useful is what you then do with the data that people have liked. For example, you can send email notifications to people who have liked something that then gets commented on. You could show information in a feed based on previous likes. You can do lists of most liked items. etc.

This is a good baseline that can be built on. Plus, users for some reason like clicking the like button. It’s another form of communication without having to think of a comment.

What would be cool is to take it a step further and make the plugin agnostic and have multiple buttons. For example, I might want a like, dislike, and sarcastic like button (or whatever creative things people come up with).
