Overview
gReader Comments is a Greasemonkey script-turned-extension for Firefox that brings all Disqus conversations into Google Reader. All entries will have a comment thread (regardless of Disqus integration on that site), but more importantly you will be able to join the existing conversation for blogs that use Disqus.
What's New in Version 4.1
- Disqus: the extension now uses Disqus: see the community page at http://reader.disqus.com
- Bookmarklets: Created cross-browser bookmarks that allow comments on ANY page!
- All blogs that use Disqus will now show the existing thread from that post.
- Trackbacks: Any non-Disqus blogs with trackback support will now be notified of this conversation.

Bookmarklets
Bookmarklets are simply bookmarks that you click on while you are on a page you want to comment on. These will work in any browser, so if you are unable to use Firefox you can still see & post comments to any page.
FULL BROWSER (Internet explorer or firefox)
FF: Drag this link to the toolbar
IE: Right click & choose 'Add to Favorites'
MOBILE WEB (IPHONE)
Save this link to your bookmarks that sync:
USE: If you get the urge to make a comment about a page, while you are on
that page simply select this bookmark; a new page will pop up that will
allow you to read/post comments. This works in the Google Reader Mobile version when you click on "original story" (even in the Google-mobilized version)...but it won't work if you are still inside Google Reader Mobile.
