Instant Feedback Button

Title:
Instant Feedback Button

Area:
Posts

Summary:
Similar to the Facebook 'like' button, have a 'favorite' button, kudos, etc. Some sort of button, where if a person likes an entry but doesn't want to comment, they can leave some sort of feedback.

Description:
As somewhat of an author, it's frustrating when one doesn't get reviews. I may not get reviews but I do see when people favorite one of my stories on another site. That site keeps track of how many have favorite your work. Since many authors might be coming here, I think having some kind of like/favorite/kudos button would be great. Fanfiction.net and DeviantArt.com have similar options.

Maybe! It could be something to work in down the road, or it could just be a pipe dream. (I confess, mostly my impetus in thinking that up was that for posts which are just pictures of my cat, I could theoretically change the ticky to "kitty snuggles". Yes, I am thinking in terms of cat pictures! THE INTERNET IS FOR CAT PICTURES.)

But in terms of a style thing, it could be as simple as "renaming" the "reply/# comments" fields. Right now, people can have replies say "3 frogs / hop!" or "3 sheep / Fling a sheep!" or "3 replies / Post a reply" in their own style, whereas in the sitescheme it's always comment/reply. You could rename your tickys to "AWESOME" or "Like" or "Zork" or "2949912", though in sitescheme they might still be "ticky". :)
