Kudos WordPress Plugin
Brings Kudos, an unobtrusive alternative to Facebook's like, to your WordPress blog.
Kudos, as seen on the svbtle.com blogging network, are an unobtrusive and playful way for your readers to show their appreciation. To give kudos for a post the visitor simply hovers the Kudo-Button: A small animation starts for as long as the visitor does leave his cursor on the Kudo. When the animation is finished and the Kudo-Button is filled the count goes up by one. By clicking the then filled button the visitor can take his Kudo off the post again.
See the plugin in action on yrnxt.com.
Dustin Curtis, creator of svbtle.com and inventor of Kudos, describes Kudos like this:
Each post has one unusual feedback mechanism which has no external repercussions: Kudos.
