Think of it like this: By clicking the Hubwheel, you're not saying 'Bradley Manning was sentenced to 35 years - I like this', you're saying (to your set of followers) 'Hey, did you hear about Bradley Manning being sentenced to 35 years?' The implied grammar and vocabulary of social media UX is important. I dislike Facebook's Like button because it doesn't offer Dislike as an alternative. As a verb, I'd refer to the Hubwheel button as the Discuss button or perhaps the Interest button. However there is a confusion for me in Hubski's grammar. Clicking an article Hubwheel implies share/initiate discussion. Clicking the Hubwheel beside a comment seems to imply approve/reward/acknowledge.
