I'm working on an extension for Chrome that lets you add a bunch of new emotive reactions to Facebook posts. It's based on this PDL comic (http://poorlydrawnlines.com/comic/proposed-facebook-buttons/) and includes all of the reactions described there: dislike, hate, love, threaten, applaud, stare creepily, accuse of racism, offer bribe, express doubt, incite rebellion, pass joint, and throw tomato. I even got the author of that comic to tweet about my extension! https://twitter.com/PDLComics/status/481493925878714368

I work full-time on Javascript, but this is the first Chrome extension I've completed and actually added to the Chrome Web Store.

Right now it works by adding a unique emoticon comment and parsing that out into a "reaction", but I've been rebuilding over the past week and a new version of it is almost complete (public git repo here: https://github.com/ollerac/New-Facebook-Reactions). This version relies on an external API instead of parsed comments to keep track of the reactions on Facebook posts.
