Re: quo vadis WWP?

When considering options it can be useful to look at the pros and cons of the different things. It isn't a vote for or against doing those things, and it's not important, initially, to get into details. It's a way to list possible good and bad points so they can be considered clearly.
Like buttons
Pros:
(1) ultra-low-friction method of someone promoting a page to their FB friends
Cons:
(1) If 'like count' is shown it could become a defacto voting system. Avoidable.
Share buttons
Pros:
(1) More visible method of someone promoting a page to their FB friends
Cons:
(1) as with likes: visible counts could be seen as votes.
Comments
Pros:
(1) provides WWP participants with feedback that's not reliant on mailing list participation
Cons:
(1) could be a distraction to the primary content
(2) could be used for flames or spam
Does anyone want to add to these?
