The act of liking things on websites just became a whole lot more transparent over the weekend.
Beginning yesterday morning, Facebook users began noticing that each time they like something on a third-party site, the action created an entire feed story on Facebook, not just a single line item.

While publishers will definitely consider this a massive improvement, there’s no doubt that some users will be shocked to see entire feed stories published every time they like something.
Whether or not this changes user behavior remains to be seen, but I can just about guarantee online publications will rush to implement the like button if they haven’t already.
Do you think having stories published as soon as you like something makes sense?
