If you're like us, you probably spend a significant portion of your day with Google Reader or your favorite RSS reader open. But sometimes it's nice to see pages in their original context. For example, if you want to see comments other readers have left on a blog entry, there's pretty much no way to do that with most feed readers.

That's where fav.or.it comes in. The web service is still pre-private beta, but the goal is to create a Google Reader like RSS interface with support for comments.



Here's how it works. You read Download Squad or some other blog or news site (don't ask us why) using the fav.or.it. You find an article that you want to comment on and you can leave a message without leaving the page. You can also read comments left by other fav.or.it users.

There are also tools that allow web publishers to integrate fav.or.it with their sites, which pushes fav.or.it comments to the original web page. It's a little less clear whether the same tools will allow comments left on the original site to show up on fav.or.it.
