I agree with you!
Besides, I'd like to share with any reader what I learned as an outsider of facebook and other sites that the usage of LIKE is RISKY or could lead any to some kind of frustration (let me tell why):
Last year, before September 2012, I was used to reading the writing of certain woman. I was aware of a personal problem she was RECURRENTLY mentioning (so I tried to help) and I did it. I spent a WHOLE year reading her stuff. I liked how she wrote, I wondered how she was (never saw a picture of her) but a kind of a relationship was developing between both (Wow! When I give I give).
She was in Colombia and I was here, in Venezuela. She asked me for FB, so I gave her my account (which I use for political reasons) and there I saw her pictures (What pictures I've seen?)
If I liked her writings solely, her pictures drove me crazy! (This tip is given to a friend I have). Christian woman (and men) had better to know and be aware that foolish men (like me) fall in love for their eyes (That is FRUSTRATING) Ha! Ha!
Women also LIKE WHAT THEY SEE. But this ex-friend started to click "LIKE" on all those pictures I had there (so she became noticed by I real friend how poked me to say: "Antonio! That woman really likes you!" (He didn't know how much I liked her, at that time).
That friendship became REAL. She came back to Venezuela. We agreed to a personal meeting (it became a date) Not a BLIND date! Ha! Ha! and soon after I gave myself permission to love her the way I was feeling (she gave me some "rights", after few time, with a kiss that was repeated with additional dates) and soon after I uprooted my feelings because she acted like someone I would call a cheater (enough to tell what hurts and frustrates me)

I get frustrated when someone is talking about God and they type god. I can deal with lowercase 'i's and the like, but when it's God, yeah, I know...sigh...but it gets to me SOOOO bad. I never say anything in the thread or to the person, but I always correct them in my head. I even wanted to do a thread about why God is always capitalized and gods/idols are never capitalized. 
I haven't done so...yet. Sigh.
I get frustrated when you tell someone something in confidence and then you find out they were discussing it with someone else and, to make things worse, were saying the complete opposite of what they said to you. You realize, at those moments, that there truly isn't any safety in that relationship and it hurts, but you just kind of let it go, because even though it's frustrating, it isn't the end of the world, you know?
I get frustrated when someone doesn't like something I've said on here and then they follow me into other threads and attack whatever I say there. Then, they choose to PM me and continue stating why they're right and I'm wrong in a message. This frustrates me and the best way I've found to alleviate the frustration is to use the ignore option.
And, yes, I get frustrated when I'm misunderstood, especially if I think that I've expressed myself very clearly. I am trying to remember that everyone has filters engaged and something I type that is clear to me, may not be so clear when filtered through someone else's life. I am trying to be more patient.

Yes this is very frustrating, it gets to the point where you trust nobody at all, you think everyone you speak to is going to break your trust.. what I do, is I end up saying to ppl over & over again.. please keep this between you & I, which is me showing that I don't trust them which is rather offensive towards them but in my mind I think 'If I don't tell them to keep it private.. then there's a chance they might share it with someone else'.. it's a really hurtful & frustrating thing not being able to trust anyone.
This made me think of the two brothers in Scripture. One told his dad that he'd do what he wanted, the other one said no. Ultimately, the one that said yes, didn't follow through and the one that said no reconsidered and went and did as his dad had asked. Then, Jesus asks which one was obeying his father and they all agreed it was the second. Better to say no and then change your mind and do it than the other way around, I say. But that's just me.
I get sooo frustrated when I spend a sleepless night burning the midnight oil and then the next day the exams get rescheduled to next week.
I really need to stop using lanterns and upgrade to light bulbs!!!
