Idea: Favorite genres

[jazzsequence]

Just a pie-in-the-sky idea...

What if a user was able to "favorite" a genre/genre story?

Imagine the genre with a heart next to it. If someone clicks on the heart it "favorites" that genre. We can store that user's favorite genres to a cookie and maybe save the genre into the database. When the user returns to the site they can, via a link or a pop up or a sidebar widget or something, view all of their favorite genres (based on data in the stored cookie).

We could also create a page that displayed a list of favorite genres for all users and -- if a genre appears more than once (unlikely, although if you favorite a genre from a list or from someone sharing it (see #11) it becomes more of a possibility), we can rank them by popularity.
