Hey everyone - Thanks for the great question. We don't think we should display who likes your items. It should be private, so situations like what recently happened on Facebook (a young lady got a notification from Facebook that her boyfriend was looking for an engagement ring before he proposed to her) won’t get anyone into trouble.
We anticipate that many shoppers on the site will be replacementing for gifts for loved ones. That is the sort of information they might want to keep private, otherwise you risk people finding out about the surprise. However, we are planning to let Creators see the number of times in which their item(s) are added to people’s Favorites or when their entire Creator Exhibit is added as a Favorite. This keeps the shopper’s information anonymous, but still allows Creators to gauge how popular they are on the site.
We have decided to name the feature "My Favorites" due to overwhelming preference from the community members, and it will ultimately live within a user's Account. We're developing a way for users to send their list of Select Favorites to friends / family as a kind of gift registry. The recipients would be able to see the partial list without needing to login, and not have access to the rest of the items in the shopper's Favorites list. We'll keep everyone posted on its development.
