GReactions brings comments to Google Reader

Google Reader is great for keeping up with your favorite news feeds, but when it comes to reading blog comments, it doesn't really deliver. GReactions is a Firefox extension that fills the gap. It collects comments from the blog post itself, FriendFeed, Twitter, Digg, Hacker News, Reddit and more. You can access all of this by clicking a link that GReactions adds to the end of each post in Reader.

Don't confuse GReactions with comments on shared Google Reader items. It doesn't allow you to comment, it just pulls in comments from other sources. I'm not sure how reliable GReactions is, though, because it mostly displayed Twitter mentions for the posts I checked out. It could be that Twitter is just quicker to index than some of the other sources, though, and not every post gets added to Dugg or Reddited. Your mileage may vary with GReactions, but it definitely deals well with high-traffic, comment-heavy blogs.

That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
