As you said, its almost in the category of omg-yet-another-URL-shortener, but if used exclusively for sharing comments, this can as well become a brand for comment sharing!
Will take time to see how it shapes up. Would be watching it as its used more often.

rp.ly was born on Marshall Kirkpatrick and Dave Winer's "Bad Hair Day" podcast in the wake of the tr.im and FriendFeed announcements. It's open source and the URL is RP.LY
REP.LY and RE.P.LY are two more recent uses of the same name.
The idea with rp.ly is to own and "brand" your short URLs the same way you brand your own links with your own domain name.
http://rp.ly is testing a WordPress plugin which lets you set up your own "vanity url shortener" for your WordPress blog tweets, check it out. :-)
