What Happens When You LIKE...

I've been curious about this for quite some time, and finally Googled and found an answer. I know a lot of you are not big Facebook fans, but some are, so here's the deal:

A Friend of yours finds a cute photo on a FB page, or website, and posts it. Naturally, it shows up on your page, and it says "This poor child is autistic, and has Down syndrome, and is multi-paraplegic, AND has an ingrown toenail! Can she get 1 million LIKES, just like Kim Kardashion?" OR "Can this brave soldier get 1 million likes for serving his/her country for the last 65 years?"

Of course, you click LIKE...who wouldn't? What happens now?

Turns out, these LIKES are as good as cash, and can be used in much the same way. PLUS, you're influencing your "online identity" each time you do this. So, NOT clicking can be even more important than clicking...check it out!

Clicking "like" on those opens you up to all sorts of spam and possible viruses. Very similar to those " please forward this to a gazzillion friends" emails. All around bad idea.
