What I'm saying is I actually don't think a global number of likes on a post is even a good idea. What's more interesting is how many ppl within my own network have liked a post.
Otherwise we're just mirroring Twitter along with all the negative behaviors that come with it.
And I'd argue that global consensus is unrealistic and unnecessary, and pursuing it comes at the cost of too many other useful properties.
Local consensus is more useful and easier to achieve, and still results in perfectly functional systems.
Why is a global consensus on user count a required (or even an important) feature?
That doesn't even model real-world relationships, and plenty of systems work completely fine without that.

I booked a new flight from LaGuardia to Boston to Montreal leaving at 6am tmrw morning. With any luck I'll arrive just in time for the OAuth meeting!
Crossing my fingers for no more storms tomorrow!
