    My only concern is that shared counts might put too much focus upon the number of shares a post has.

This was my concern as well. In my head, it becomes slowly akin to Reddit, which is, indeed, not what you would strive towards. For me, the "capped" number of shares - capped by the dots around the circle, of course - indicated the necessary measure of shares being observed; clearly, if it had the full circle, it deserves attention, and it's all I care for.
