If the user wants to share their favorites with the community great things begin to happen. At the end of an article there will be a rating icon that users will click to make the story a favorite. Next to that will be a number, which will give the reader an idea of how many people found the story interesting. By clicking the number, the reader will be taken to a list of all the people who liked it. At this point the reader can choose to see other stories that a particular user found interesting. After reading a few favorited articles - the reader may even choose to be notified of new articles that are interesting to their "friend".
After a while features may be added to allow friends to chat about the article that they read.
