There were some interesting posts over the weekend from Steve Cheney and Robert Scoble on whether utilizing Facebook Comments kills or in fact increases user authenticity within on-site commenting. So I’d rather not put that activity into my Facebook news feed. So for the average user these concerns are not always relevant.

Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of Facebook posts in my news feed with a specific request to “LIKE” the post. But as a user I find it annoying to frequently see posts in my Facebook news feed that directly ask, cajole or downright beg me to “LIKE” it.

Most news sites have an official Facebook Page now, with the typical approach being to add a daily stream of links to new content while promoting site features, apps, feeds, etc. Some news sites are supplementing content links with direct questions and comments to users, but this does not appear to be happening in any significant volume.

In looking at recent posts of the day, most are getting more than 2,000 “likes” and a considerable number of comments: If there are 10,000 active fans daily you would think they’d all be “liking” the post of the day since that is primarily what is driving the repeat visits. But 2,000+ likes per wall post is impressive. Apparently it does.
