[wp-hackers] Like Posts - Store Data in DB, User_Meta or Post_Meta

[Gregory Lancaster]

The idea was actually to do both.  Show on a single post the number of
people who liked it, and on mouseover list the user IDs of the folks who
did.  Then on their profile page have a "this user liked 6 posts" or
whatever it may be, and have that be clickable to open a new page with the
lists of posts they liked.
