Dutch programmer Joannes Jozef Everardus van Der Meer is suing Facebook over its ‘Like’ button. Companies get sued all the time! Why do we care? Well, aside from having an A+ name, van Der Meer is actually… dead. He passed away in 2004, just as Facebook was beginning to take over the world. Why is he suing now? More »
Falling in love can be complicated; falling in ‘like’, not so much. Either way, you’ve got various Facebook statuses to choose from (including the infamous “It’s Complicated”) and different ways to express how you feel – one of which is Yeople’s ‘I Like You’ pendant that shows the actual process of liking instead of just the icon itself.
That’s what makes this piece of jewelry so unique and oh-so-quirky.
When you give it as a present to someone, you’re not just letting them wear Facebook’s ‘Like’ icon you’re actually giving them a ‘like’ in real life. It makes an apt gift for Valentine’s when you’re still in the early stages of attraction and it might be awkward to give something with hearts and ‘I Love You’ stamped all over it.
The set comes with the in-the-process-of Liking pendant, plus a bracelet in the box. It retails for €22.50 (~$31 USD) on Yeople.
If you’re a Twitterer, you’re probably very familiar with the Favorite button on tweets. It’s Twitter’s equivalent to the Facebook ‘Like’ and a way to show appreciation to a good tweet, a weird tweet, a tweeted link or any tweet without replying or retweeting. It’s fun and it works. It also could have been known as ‘Thanks’. More »
