Thread: Why dont we have a '+1' button?

Jimbo, I think that the reasoning behind such a feature would be "screen real estate". If you have thirty people adding posts that say only "+1", then you would have two pages of nothing but "+1". If you have a +1 button, all you would need to see would be a little text box under the original post showing all the people who have +1'ed the original post.

That way we can all get on to reading relavent material rather than just seeing a post that says +1.

BTW, "+1'ed" is now an official past tense verb as coined by me. All credit should be directed to this particular post in the etymological history sections of your preferred dictionary. Please make all ammendments to your dictionary within thirty days or the next full moon, whichever is earlier. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
