Sometimes, I get rather overwhelmed by stories and just don't know what to say. I find kudos really helpful in those situations because it allows me to go YES \o/ AWESOME without having to struggle to find words. I personally love getting notification of kudos. It might be a small thing but it sure makes me feel pretty amazing.
