Facebook-like Notification Plugin for WordPress Community Blog Sites?

I am a member of a community blog site run by WordPress engine. But I often feel that if there were a notification system like Facebook tracking the site would be much easier. I know about the notification emails and RSS feeds but those do not serve the whole purpose. I need to have notification when:

  • Somebody comments on any of my blog posts.
  • Somebody comments after any of my comments in any posts.
  • My blog post is rated.

Almost like Facebook. Is there any plugin for that?

I can't post a comment yet but just wanted to clarify Edelman's answer. Out of the box, Buddypress does not have notifications of friend requests as a flag (like (1) on Facebook when there is new activity). What it does instead is show a count of your total friends.

What you suggest will certainly take some hacking as I don't know of an out-of-the-box solution yet. You may want to take a look at Mark as Read.

The BuddyPress bar shows notifications e.g. when someone friends you.

I think you have to search then for BuddyPress plugins that enable your 3 requirements. and add the code to the filter for the bar on top.

or widget-tify the activity stream per user enriched with whatever more data

Maybe you can even award points for all interaction like here and like the BuddyPress CubePoints plugin
