#2The white box is misleading. I thought it was a speech box, indicating comments, but it is an upvote indicator. Would be nice to disambiguate with an upward arrow shape. Otherwise looks nifty.

#3as much as like this idea, I dont like this idea. I think to true value in HN lays in the fact its not hugely popular in masses. It has its own group of brilliant hackers, programmers, lawyers, writers, etc, that are willing to spend time to read/write BECAUSE there is interesting stuff to read here, and other interesting people are willing to read what they want to write. If everyone jumps on this ship, most likely quality of subscriptions and comments will go down. So the "elite" will swim away...
I think HN, with its current audience and contributors is PERFECT the way it is.
so sorry to burst your bubble :(

If you think the value of HN stems from it not being popular with the masses, you're fully capable of making HN 1 unit better by leaving. Oh, wait, this doesn't apply to you, does it?

I second. As well-intentioned as this is, I am firmly against HN becoming the mainstream social platform that it will become if it is to be grouped in the same share boat as Facebook, Twitter, etc. It is perfectly fine for a blog post to link to its corresponding HN discussion, but I feel that the share button approach commodifies the experience.

RegEx, you are perfectly correct. One thing I quickly learned here is to shut up and listen, limit my comments.
But I hope you understand; its soo darn hard sometimes to keep your mouth shut :|

I have not seen that comment, fyi, but I would assume he would think similar. I would think most folks here would have the same feeling after couple days or weeks hanging around.
