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.

As someone who is more or a listener than a talker I sometimes find it difficult to comment on posts but still want to acknowledge that I've read them. So some DW form of 'I appreciate this' box would be totally awesome as far as I'm concerned.

I really like the idea of allowing people turn to them on and off on their own journal. That way if you're someone who really hates the feature at least you don't have to see it in your own space.
