I personally find the "like button" on Facebook the dumbest idea ever - it means you are too stupid or too lazy to think up anything and just go around clicking "like" all over the place. It impoverishes the process, as where there is a "like" there could have been a enriching comment. For a beautiful photo, yes, for an intelligent quotation, yes, but for everything else, leave a comment or leave it alone. What does the like refer to?
Hmm, it'd be a neat extension for Commons. I don't think "like" or "+1" should be used, as they're not sufficiently wiki. But something that expresses the same sentiment, that allows users to express approval of good photos (similar to Flickr), could be cool.
