No "Dislike" button?

This is a good suggestion, unnamed. Encourages quality commenting and lets best comments quasi-join the post.

You've got to choose some post order, aware that the first posts will be read most often. Chronology doesn't seem a useful promotion mechanism.

Gladly - if you add the link to your RSS feed as well.

Sorry, I won't be using this. Instead, I'll continue to hit "share" in Google Reader when I like one of your posts so much that I don't see a need to comment on it. Other readers probably hit "like" in Google Reader when a post is so awesome that it needs no comment.

Have you checked the likes through the rss feed at google reader?

say, what are your favorite ob posts robin. we can go directly vote on them, give you some quick feedback

So in other words, basically turn this into LessWrong, which I believe Robin has rejected in the past...

Pshah, upvoting is cheap.

When do we get a prediction market on which posts will be in the top 10 for the week/month/year? Or which posts Tyler will quote from or, perhaps, which ones will generate a NYT article?

Now THAT would be feedback!

Ha ha, thirded. I disagree probably more than I agree, but Robin always has an interesting or unusual perspective put in a succinct way so I keep following the feed.

All I see is a thumbs up. Where is the 1 worst, 10 best scale?

Some 4 people have already liked this in Google Reader so it's a good thing to do :)
