Weird? Automatically created links from URLs in comments don't have a creator. #59

When you put a URL in the chat window, it adds the Go2.me icon after the
URL, which creates a new go2me link the first time it is clicked. 

The thing that could potentially be weird for some users, is that if the
original commenter never clicked the URL, the first reader who clicks it
will be given the title of "Creator" despite the fact that they were just
clicking around on links, and may not like the link they clicked, nor want
it in their profile.

Expected:  When a user enters a URL in the comments, treat it just as if
the user had clicked the bookmarklet while on that page.  Put it in their
profile, and give them credit as "Creator"

The first person to click the Go2.me icon will be the "creator", yes.  I see 
how this
can be odd since the person who sent the link is really the initiator.  On the 
other
hand, the sender of the link may not necessarily want to discuss that page by
creating a link.

Perhaps I should just create the Go2.me link right away - at the time someone
includes it in a comment?  This is kind of a tricky case - not always sure what 
the
"right" thing to do is.
