Wordpress.com introduces 'liking' and reblogging
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 02:36 pmRecently, Buzz introduced a form of reblogging (and it had liking embedded in it from the beginning).
Now Wordpress.com has joined in, it seems: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/we-all-like-to-reblog/
Notably, the like aspect is not embedded in within the post itself, but within the wordpress.com toolbar; this is similar to how it is when you view a tumblr post on its own page (although Tumblr's is much more esthetically pleasing). I think this is better because it doesn't clutter the blog with a function that non-logged out users can't use. I've long been an advocate of the 'liking' feature on various websites (and actually, I wish that this existed as an option on DW).
They're also saying they want to create a wordpress plugin related to this, though I'm not sure how it would work on self-hosted WP.
