1. A method for aggregating user reactions to content from multiple network-based content sharing services using a reaction service, the method comprising:
receiving, by the reaction service, notifications of user reactions from a plurality of network-based content sharing services, wherein each user reaction is associated with content shared within the network-based content sharing services and wherein the notifications of user reactions include data identifying the content and a reaction type;
aggregating, by the reaction service, user reactions corresponding to the notifications for each piece of content across the plurality of network-based content sharing services to generate aggregated reaction data for each piece of content;
storing the aggregated reaction data in a centralized database that is accessible to the plurality of network-based content sharing services;
receiving, by the reaction service, an access request, requesting access to the aggregated reaction data from a particular one of the plurality of network-based content sharing services; and
responding to the particular one of the plurality of network-based content sharing services with a portion of the aggregated reaction data, wherein the particular one of the plurality of network-based content sharing services displays the portion of the aggregated reaction data within a graphical user interface of the particular one of the network-based content sharing service.
