We could keep the share link in place, but move the permalink to a small icon next to flag. That might reduce visual clutter.

| Oct 16, 2013 at 10:44 | comment | added | hjpotter92 | Since you were unaware of direct links to a post, I should also mention that direct links to comments also exist. :) Click on the time stamps after any comment and you get a direct link to that comment. | |
| Oct 16, 2013 at 10:33 | comment | added | Jehof | I think it is a good idea to separate permalink from share functionality. Most news pages i visit provide a permalink at the bottom of the news post and also functionality to share the post to Social networks (FB, Google, etc.) | |
| Oct 16, 2013 at 10:27 | comment | added | Mołot | My +1 goes for more clear name, not for separate buttons. But I agree something should be corrected if it causes problems. Personally I do my best to keep myself away from social networks, and my browser filters filter away most of FB-related stuff, so share was not confusing to me. I just never got used to any particular meaning ;) | |
