A "likeaholic" is someone on facebook who likes everything they see. Instead of writing a more meaningful comment, they press the 'like' button. This becomes an addictive quality in the person and they are known widely across the internet for it.
As for a person who wants likes, the best way to describe that person is "insecure".

I don't know of a specific word, there probably is a slang word for it. But I would call them flat out attention seekers or people who are self absorbed.

social acceptance.....everyone wants to be liked.
If they are over the top......insecure
