Did Like Just Replace The Link?

It’s pretty interesting to see all the people rallying around an open “Like” standard. It was just like the developers who suggested we needed an open tweeting platform once Twitter became so successful. In turn identi.ca was born and most people don’t use it. Every great idea launched on the web is now immediately followed by a bunch of open web advocates claiming that the “locked in” model is scary. The drive behind the movement may not hold any bearing but it appears to be in response to a fundamental shift away from links to likes.
