I just discovered a new trick that gReader is good for. I added a “Disqus- friends of eng1ne” RSS feed to Google Reader, but of course the comments come in all disconnected based on the article they are on. If I've read the article already, I simply click on the embedded gReader comments link and it brings up the whole threaded list in the sub-window! That way I quickly get all the comments in context.

This is very. cool. Thank you so much for taking some time to do this! I will get my site switched over to feedburner asap so I can play with this!

You can use this feedflare in Feedburner to display the Disqus comment count on each post. One feedflare that I made you can pick up here. It's an iPhone-optimized version of the comments that you can click on right inside the mobile-version of Google Reader and join the conversation.

Oh, I'm a small blog with little to no comments, so no exception there.

The parallel world is only created if a site doesn't use Disqus. I added a few “connected comments” notifiers so you know if your comments will be shown on the actual blog, or just with other gReader users. Most feeds you subscribe to will not have Disqus, because they haven't convinced any top 50 blogs just yet (Techcrunch/Gawker media). They will HAVE to solve the issue for importing existing comments into Disqus before they start getting the big dogs…right now it only makes sense for small blogs w/ little to no comments to start using it – with the exception of Scribkin, of course

I built the original version of the extension (about 3 months ago) just for me & my friends to comment about stories. We didn't necessarily want our comments on the actual blogs because most of the time we wanted to talk to each other, not the author of the post. Much like FriendFeed only shows you comments on stories that your friends post, this is a smaller community talking with each other rather than to the blogosphere.

I agree -- it would be great to see an integrated inline commenting solution for Google Reader. Without writing their own commenting system a la Disqus I'm not sure if it would be feasible though. Of course, if the existing comment communities had public APIs Google could build on them and allow their users to 'choose' which one they want to use.

I'm not sure if that is the case, though. Perhaps Google is simply watching the space and is seeing who turns out to be the strongest competitor.

By the way, thanks for the comment and the visit to my blog! Glad to have you.

I have only been using Disqus about 2 weeks on my wordpress blog but love it so far. Perhaps the extension can fill in the holes for Google Reader. The blogosphere wants inline commenting in Google Reader. Not sure what the Reader folks are waiting for.

Thanks for taking the time out to comment! I know what you are saying about gReader -- I recently commented on a post on Robert Scoble's site, then I went to see where the comment was ultimately being recorded. I ended up on this page.

But Disqus is a young product yet -- I think there is a lot of potential for pushing these comments back to their respective blogs.. for example if the blogs allow OpenID, Disqus is already doing some work in that area.

Phil, I just found your blog by cruising through discus followers. Another cool thing about discus.

The funny thing about greader is that it creates these parallel world comments that the blog owner will likely never know exist (unless they get clued in to disqus).

Anyway, I'm a big fan of disqus. I've got it on my wordpress and tumblr blogs and I love when I find other blogs that use it.
