I believe though that it's been shown that in speaking, if you implement silent pauses, it actually makes you more persuasive and likely to keep your audience's attention and interest. Take a look at almost any Ted Talk to see that in action.

I can see that. I try to take silent pauses. There are times where I get stuck and I'll put in the "you know", or the "so...".
I think part of the reason I noticed the "like" stuff is that I used to hear it a lot in high school. I thought it was a kid thing to do. I hear it everywhere I go now.
