Here's a nifty little Firefox add-on, which I discovered via MakeUseOf. It's called gReactions.
The extension adds a button underneath every item in Google Reader that says "Show Comments." Click on it and instantly you can browse incoming links from Twitter, Friendfeed, Digg and more. In addition, for some blogs, you can view comments right in Google Reader using gReactions. Neat tool. (Disclosure: Pizza Hut, which is mentioned in the screen shot, is a client of Zeno Group, a Daniel J. Edelman company - where I work)Lifehack: gReactions Makes Google Reader Even More Social

Wow, that is nice. I just installed it, and it works just as advertised. It works fairly quickly, too. I checked out an item that had over 400 comments, and it loaded in a second or two.

Great find. Thanks.

That's really impressive, definitely going to install this Firefox add-on to compliment Google Reader

I also really like the 'Post comment to Twitter' box that displays how the message will display as a tweet

I believe the Feedly addon for Firefox (feedly.com) uses similar methods to pull in comments from Google Reader, but the interface is much friendlier/prettier.But regardless, I love the trend toward pulling related, previously scatter-shot content, into one useful space: where you are.

I downloaded it. Before that, I used to get those comments thru a Yahoo pipe through Google Reader. And I am going to put JS-Kit on my blog to get them aggregated on my blog site:-)

It's a nice add-on... but I'm most impressed by your "full disclosure," Steve. Screen shot... Pizza Hut... Zeno... Edelman... to you: a hat tip to you. Thanks for playing with such an open hand.
