Why mixed feelings?
Many of my comments don't make sense without knowledge of the parent article/comment.
I'd still do it. They are probably still intriguing, and you would provide the links for context.

#12Smart idea!

#13You are not your job. You are not your online profiles. You are not your YC karma. But hey, that shouldn't stop you from displaying it... Sister "Profiles" Widget: http://duckduckgo.com/profiles.html Live examples: http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/
Oh noes! There's no easy way to get from the widget page to your main page. Maybe you should link the top image to '/'?

#14It works for me for YC but not for reddit.

#16A good example of a novel minor marketing effort for your start-up. An excellent idea. Putting together something small like the Karma Widget is an enjoyable diversion to boot. We all need those once in a while.
The real kicker here is that he's giving people incentive to group together all their profiles across the web, allowing Duck Duck Go to search people better than anyone else.
That's genius!

#18I was just working on simple widget that showed my last few comments with links back to HN. Although I'm having mixed feelings about using it on my homepage.
Makes me think... maybe its time BackType came up with a widget... yes? Might save you the trouble. www.backtype.com Of course it won't help with your predicament, but it will be easier in case you do decide to display your HN comments.
Hey Raju, we do have widgets :) and you can definitely use it to display HN comments (although not karma): http://www.backtype.com/widgets

Backtype is nice but it would require me to replace my profile url with one of theirs. It's really geared towards people that don't have a website of their own.
You don't have to replace your profile url with ours, we only suggest that for people that don't have a website.
You could claim your comments: http://www.backtype.com/url/news.ycombinator.com%252fuser%3F... and add them to your account and create a widget no problem.
