For instance, this article shows the more recent thread with little/no comments, while there's a great set of comments I'd prefer to see listed with it: http://www.forbes.com/sites/morganhartley/2013/03/19/how-a-y...

This use case seems more common than the google.com one. It's possible you'd want to treat bare domains differently, or treat top web sites differently, etc. Depends on how much work you'd like to put into this project. I for one will keep using it if you keep working on it :)
