the mouseover icons:

i feel like the follow dude needs to be a little chunkier to fit with the set, or the set needs to be lighter to fit with the follow dude. take the plus off the badge. maybe make the plus-delta-tag contextual. plus tag if there's no community tag yet, delta tag if there is. i'm still dissatisfied with this because it'll be the only two-glyph icon but not sure how to fix that.

do the individual icons change color when you mouseover? could be nice.

at the top:

what's the explore icon supposed to be? it looks like the microsoft logo. make it a compass rose or something. this might be a little too similar to the register icon but register probably doesn't need to be there. where's the login box? maybe it should go in there.

general:

why is "more" the only orange thing on the page?

disappointed with lack of grid alignment on the elements of each individual story. hubwheel should be aligned somehow instead of just top left, perhaps even with the title and byline. mouseover icons probably need to grid up somehow with the comment icon and count. are domain names still displayed?
