Great idea! I actually like all of it so far, except one thing. The "social love animation," while cute, is misleading to my eyes; my brain is trained such that when it sees little objects moving into a larger object like that, I'm in a waiting period. It feels like a progress bar, if you will.

As a result, I sat there for 2 minutes or so (alternately reading elsewhere about the site), and was wondering if it was working or why it was taking so long. _Then_ I read the page. I'm just accustomed to not reading text while things are moving in that manner.

Let me know if I'm not making sense; I can attempt to clarify.
