I've planned from the start to do a lightweight anonymous "kudos" like [Svtble](https://svbtle.com) but I'm also considering a Slashdot style "informative, insightful, funny, ..."

----
TED talks also have a potentially useful taxonomy too.

----
Slashdot's taxonomy seems to be:

* Insightful
* Informative
* Interesting
* Funny

----
TED's taxonomy is:

* Jaw-dropping
* Persuasive
* Courageous
* Ingenious
* Fascinating
* Inspiring
* Beautiful
* Funny
* Informative
* OK
* Unconvincing
* Confusing
* Longwinded
* Obnoxious

- There needs to be some sort of 'kudos' system - I know jtauber is [already working on this](https://thoughtstreams.io/jtauber/thoughtstream-likes/) - but I thought I'd just repeat it because I can.

I think that it would work best per-card, with maybe a 'starring' ability for the whole stream.

## Likes

We've added the ability to **like cards**. Just hover over a card and click the heart to let the author know you like what they said.

If a card already has likes, they will be visible without hover.

## Favorites

As well as liking cards, you can now also **favorite people and streams**.

This is done by clicking the star on a stream or profile page.

But whereas likes are a lightweight way of acknowledging what someone has written, favoriting an entire stream or a person has an additional  effect.

Now on the main page that shows the latest updated streams, new streams, general thoughts and the fire hose, you can now choose to **filter** just by favorites.

When filtering by favorites, you'll only see content from streams you've favorited and from people you've favorited.
