what's the difference between this and "say thanks!"?

Is there a place where we can see what other people Like, or the top "Liked" things in a week or something?

You say thanks if something is given to you, like facts, answers to your questions, etc.

You "like" posts that give you a new opinion on things or agrees with your own opinion.

That's the difference that I'm going to use.

It would be nice to have a top "liked" and top "thanked" list, I don't know if one currently exists.

I really like the idea of having a top 'thanked' and top 'liked' list.

I thought the 'likeed' was supposed to add to the 'cuteness' or something..

That would be the perfect time to "like" a post, but you should probably like FireDragoonX's post since he came up with the idea
