Most of you probably familiar with Facebook � the unsinkable flagship, the mother of all social networks around the world, but it won't be our focus today.
Three years ago Russian comrades took a look at Facebook and decided that: �The hell with it.... We will build our own with �blackjack and hookers!� Three years went by, and a social network known as VKontakte appears with no less than 45 million users. Wait! Don't discard VKontakte yelling who needs it if we have Facebook because I will explain why you do need it
.It is a known fact that on the streets of Russia there are bears roaming freely with balalaika's and cap hats which is probably the reason why copyright fighters haven't come to Russia yet...
ATTENTION!!!! In VKontakte social network you will find multi-million library containing free mp3 files, you can listen on-line to whatever you feel like without any limitations, and believe me, there is plenty to listen to (take a look at the screen shot bellow). It is unbelievably simple � following the registration <u>(absolutely free</u>) in the search field simply enter audio files search, and VIOLA, you have found your happiness! I suppose advanced users don't need an explanation as to how files are downloaded.

Based on the $vote from the examples, I propose $rate which should be followed by a sequence of 1 to 5 special characters, ideally from the list of (*, $, !).
$rate *
$rate *****
You rate the subject from 1 to 5 stars (*). This should be familiar to a lot of people already and easily understood.
You can also $rate the cost or value of subjects using dollar signs. That may be a little tricky based on using the dollar sign being used to terminate a value and how the literal dollar signs get escaped in values. You could just treat it as a special case when it follows the $rate or similar verbs.
1 to 5 dollar signs should have well understood semantic meaning related to cost or value. You could also use $cost or $value instead of $rate.
$cost $$$$
$value $
The ! can be used for emphasis!!
$like !!!!
There is no upper-bound (aside from the 140 character limit) on how many times a character can be repeated, however, I chose 5 as the upper limit since rating things from 1 to 5 is not uncommon. 1 to 10 seems a bit much given character limits in tweets. I propose storing the raw value when greater than 5, but capping it at 5 when working with the data.
Yes you can use numbers 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 or 1 to 100 or whatever, but I think the use of repeated symbols has more visual appeal, and still has enough semantic meaning for people reading it in the context of a tweet.
There is no real limit on the verbs you can use with the sequences of 1 to 5 special characters, but you can focus on the common and more meaningful ones first.
