Everyone else is doing it. I know Matthias will go for that one. In the "I read it on the internet" category, this page http://www.social-networking-success.com/facebook-likes.html suggests that facebook fans are worth $137.84 apiece. More seriously, this page argues that people who click on links like that will feel some kind of brand loyalty to Racket for years to come. Given what I know about human psychology, I would tend to agree. Making choices like this is a self-reinforcing process. Having chosen something (a political party, a brand of toilet paper, a text editor), people will seek to validate their earlier judgment by sticking to that thing and defending it. So yes, I see value in it. John
