pro: less space taken
con: more clicks needed
con: can't see immediately see whether there are share, like or connect 
actions available  (it's common that only 1 or 2 are active for a given URI) 
unless we increase the information in the icon

the pro may still be worth it. i really don't like it being in the system 
tray, however. that's an abuse of that area as this is not a notification, 
system service or other similar status item. it really is an app interface.

putting it next to (or at least near) the activities button would also help 
increase the relationship between these concepts ...

the idea is that it would be used :) if it isn't, the user can remove it.
