BTW as mentioned yesterday (not sure you've seen that) I miss the nice blue casing we used to have before...

Did it look blue? The background was #F0F0F0, and. the feed background was #FFFFFF. I think someone said it had a snowy feel. Anyone else miss it? (Or do you mean long ago?)

Am I hubskiing the wrong way around?

I don't think you can hubski the wrong way. Yes, clicking the wheel shares, and saving does keep it for later. As scarp mentions, it's a goal to keep simplicity while enabling what people like to do. IMO it would be confusing to create an independent function that monitors activity on a post, -that's why I merged it with saved, and allowed you to turn it on or off. Therefore, you can either just save, or save and monitor. As most saved posts are old ones, I assume that this functionality will bring few notifications unless a user saves an active post.

That's part of the reason why we were looking for a term that was better suited than 'saved'.

It's definitely a tough balance. I don't want to keep function creep at a minimum. Ideally, I'd like Hubski to work well without much effort, but for those that want to tweak it, they should be able to get some extra functionality.
