You know the type. Everything from the newest recipe to the latest video by your favorite band to your latest rant about your boss is suddenly on their radar and they've "liked" it. Be honest, you don't like that many things about the friends you have in real life -- why should your Facebook friends be any different.
When asked to describe a chronic "like"r in one word, the continuum of answers ran from childish to downright creepy -- and there wasn't anything good in between.
Just last week, The Washington Post reported that a man in Shreveport had traveled to Washington D.C. to try to find out why a friend of his had "unfriended" him on Facebook. He apparently had developed a "cyber crush" on a lady he met online and chronically "liked" everything she posted. When she found this behavior move from the childish end of the scale to the downright creepy end, she blocked him. He drove the 19 hours from Shreveport to D.C. and she called the police when he refused to stop banging on her front door at 2am demanding to know why she had unfriended him.
Like as many things as you like in the real world, but use Facebook's "like" button sparingly.
