There's not much wrong with the "Like" tag, because no-one is forcing 
you to attach it, and it's pretty obvious what it does.

Where the unexpected consequences creep in is when, unexpectedly, it's 
grabbed by the entity you "liked", and used as an advert; eg "Roland 
Likes Starbucks" and sent out to people I've never heard of.
