A Facebook engineer has revealed that the social networking company is working on a real life “like” button that people can use to rate other people they meet.
The engineer, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “The technology is based on the QR codes that people will be required to tattoo on their foreheads, which most people didn’t notice in the recent medical insurance reform bill that passed a few weeks ago.”
The technology will be integrated into Facebook’s official applications on the iPhone, Android and other platforms. Users will just have to scan the QR code then press the appropriate icon in the app whether it be “like”, “mute”, or “share”.
The engineer didn’t have any information on Facebook planned on implementing muting or sharing, but said “it would be possible with HTML5.”
Future plans include integrating GPS radios into skulls and RFID chips under the skin for better tracking data to be used only by your friends or friends of friends or everyone depending on your privacy settings.
