If Facebook 'likes' counted as votes...
Edited on Wed Sep-21-11 08:07 PM by victoryparty
Obama would beat GOP likes-leader Romney 23,225,498 to 1,116,474. Ron Paul currently places third overall with 516,600 likes.

2. I wish there were.
We need to have that option! I would so "unlike" everyone that's complaining about the "new" facebook.
If you don't like it, delete your account. We all have choices! :rofl:

3. Actually, there is an "unlike" on Facebook
But you have to do it on the page you originally liked. Just go to the page you want to "unlike" and scroll down until you see that option. Then...wa la - Unlike!

4. I know.
I wish there were an unlike button for people's status updates. That's what I meant.

Just like so.

7. I don't think it would be a disaster
They can just have the :thumbsup: +38 and then next to it :thumbsdown: +22
kind of like what they do on Texts From Last Night: Good night (302), Bad Night (303)
DUs system is flawed.

8. Sorry...

I deleted my comment... Because I've vented too much about the DU system already.

YouTube also has a system similar to what you suggested... Personally, I like the iTunes system... it displays an average rating, but lets the user view the distribution of votes... You can see if an item really averaged 3 stars or was 50% five stars and 50% 1 stars.

9. I like You Tube's system
Have never checked out iTunes because I don't buy from them. Sounds like a pretty good system, though.
