    I have a Facebook etiquette question. So if someone you do not know posts something and tags a friend of yours, and that posts ends up in your feed, is it ok to like that post/picture? Example, my friends girlfriend who I never met tagged my friend in a picture of his unborn baby. Is it ok to like that picture even though the actual post is by someone I do not know? I normally avoid doing it because does seem like I might come off annoying, and I did once see a friend get mad at a person once for commenting on a picture in a similar situation. So hat are your thoughts? Dumb question Im sure, just curious others thoughts and feelings on the subject.

    Don't sweat it. If people don't want other people to see their pictures then they can change the privacy settings. Besides, I'm sure the person will appreciate the 'like'.

    I suppose if you liked a pic of the friend's scantily clad girlfriend... Your significant other might get bent out of shape. ;)

    I think a "like" is acceptable from anyone. It's the arguing and bashing from people outside the persons group of friends that irritates people.

    I'm not a user of Facebook but have always been under the assumption that it is a social tool. Why would you post something that you didn't want people to "like"? If it has to do with your friend and you like it, let them know.

    It's a social network - if they didn't want it aired publicly they wouldn't have posted it on the internet. Simple as that. "Like" away!
