Two things:

1. I like this a lot, especially as the beginnings of a function that may change with use.

2.

    As Hubski grows, the shared space of comments may be strained. Easily accessible comments may accrue more votes than more thoughtful comments, and a lack of customization might result in less interesting comment sections overall.

My favorite thing about hubski is that this hasn't happened yet. The comments with the most circle-shares still generally correlate well with the longest comments. Length isn't an indicator of quality by itself but it is an indicator of effort, so I'm happy to see this pattern as hubski grows.
