I am a bit suspicious that ticking too many likes on the internet gives out too much information about you.

Graham I think you can like on youtube but not comment unless you set up an account, that might explain the lack of comments.

I don't usually take any notice of the home page; but I've just had a look at it. Guess what I just noticed? I've got a new hot match! And lo and behold it's the same as the last hot match. :-D

I'm not really interested in the company information either. What difference does it make who owns this sinking ship? :-S

On Youtube they have like and dislike buttons; but they don't seem to be well used. Many videos have hundreds or thousands of views; but less than a dozen votes. If the video is interesting or entertaining people comment why that is.

I would Like them to update the home page, the company information and fix advanced search before they start wasting time adding buttons.

i am on a site that had "like" buttons but they did away with them in the end because instead of leaving a comment people just pressed the "like button".. loss of conversation if you know what i mean. :-D

It could use an update, you cannot post an image directly into your post which means having to post links to keepsake if you are asking about a photo, people often have trouble with these.
Most other forums have a like or thanks button, we have to make do with posting a smiley which may not end up directly after the post we are referring to.
They are pretty stingy with the selection of smilies too! :-(

On Freinds Reunited they now have a like button. It actually says "agree"; but has a thumbs up image like on Facebook.
