With all of the plugins to vote or to show your blog article’s popularity, WP Likes might be something of a novel idea. It takes the idea of the ‘like’ feature on Facebook and allows your visitors to click if they like your post.

This plugin is a good idea to have as it does two things when your visitor sees it:

1. If they do not want to comment, they can click the ‘like’ link to like your post.

2. The more people that like your post may also encourage others to comment.

The plugin uses jQuery with Google AJAX APIs. Just like in Facebook, as the short FAQ for WP Likes says you can also click to like your post. The plugin comes with a widget that you can show what are your most popular posts too!

WP Likes was created by Aakash Bapna and you can see a live version of the plugin in action on his blog. This simple plugin seems like a great addition to the choices out there in regards to voting up or favoriting posts.
