[...] What you can’t do is post back to Twitter or comment on a blog, unlike SocialThing, or favorit. [...]

I think the primary reason why anyone would use a RSS reader is to not comment on articles, but to… read feeds The core RSS feed reading interface matters first and foremost (i.e. - the layout of feeds, headlines..). The other features like sharing, tagging, commenting, etc are just add-ons to that experience.

Wow - thanks for the marketing spiel, Nick. Glad to see favorit’s marketing people are such assholes.

As for fav.or.it - I’m not really a fan. When you post a comment through it on a blog, it puts a plug for its own service at the bottom. That’s pretty stupid. And, from what I see on the website (i’m not a member), it’s got nothing on the awesome interface of Netvibes.

mike j,

Have you tried our service? No. Do you have the worlds only integrated commenting platform, No. We support via a wide range of protocols both open and under license to be able to send comments back to the original blog, you do not do the same.

Was this a poor attempt for your $49 a time shareware product to get some cheap publicity? Yes.

Our Ticker also allows for commenting of RSS Articles within the article, no need to click to a browser or anythign else.
see http://www.easybyte.com/products/ticker.html for more info.
I am not sure why this was a news story on Techcrunch even?
Does fav.or.it pay Techcrunch for putting up non-stories about it
for advertising?

Adding comments within the reader is pretty cool. Our reader also allows members to do this and much more.

I think its great that a company is trying to give google some competetion

I have used the above mentioned firefox extension to enable comments in Google Reader using Intense Debate and I have to say it is bad ass!

I created a Firefox extension that integrates similar functionality into Google Reader using the comment system through IntenseDebate. It doesn’t add the comments through to the main article, but rather to the community using the extension.
