Notes on events related to readings and likes
-
Who read the diary and when is displayed to the contributor (mixi’s footprint function).
- Some approval-hungry users begin to insist that “leaving half-read or unfinished with the intention of reading something later is not good” for those who read but did not comment.
- A way to read diaries without footprints is invented by users.
- Footprint function stopped in June 2011.
-
In group chats, it shows who has already read the message (e.g. LINE).
- A culture emerges in which reading but not responding is referred to as “read-through” solar term (approx. Aug. 23, when the weather is said to start cooling down).
-
One-click response to a user’s post is invented (Twitter fav, Facebook like)
- Widely used because it is easier than sending a verbal reply
- It is unclear whether Twitter, which originally released this feature under the name “Favorite,” was aware of this usage.
- Changing the name and icon from Favorite to Like in 2015.
- I’m not sure when the Farovite feature was created, but it was before that, since a Favorite aggregation service called Favstar was created in May 2009.
- Facebook introduced this feature on February 9, 2009
- FriendFeed seems to have introduced it in 2007 (later acquired by Facebook).
- Many groupware incorporate a “like” function.
- Likes will be used to express that you have read in tools that do not have a read indicator
- Older users like all the posts they have already read on Facebook, etc., which makes younger users feel uncomfortable.
- Either you misinterpreted the use of “like” to express that you’ve read it, or you simply think it’s all “good”.
- Instant “Like” on every post! This kind of “Sawhara” old man is not liked : J-CAST Company Watch
-
Like” diversifies.
- In 2012, Facebook added “Love”, “Haha”, “Wow”, “Sad”, and “Angry”.
-
Not good.

- Slashdot, Reddit, StackOverflow, and others used it as a rating function for posts
- Facebook has a policy of not including a down vote feature.
-
