Currently we only notify on the first like and display:

❤ zogstrip “My brilliant topic”

This is great and all but gets very tiring, especially if you are operating in @zogstrip’s timezone, he is always first to like and you have to keep visiting the topic if you want to get more internal validation.

Instead … what if we updated this as likes come in (without mucking with order or anything)

###Option 1

❤ 7 “My brilliant topic”

###Option 2

❤ zogstrip, codinghorror and 2 others “My brilliant topic”

###Option 3

Keep single name but always update it to “last” liker

❤ (7) bob “My brilliant topic”

Any other ideas? 💡
