Rantings of a Pastor/Gamer/Historian/Geek
I usually worship at the altar of Google. (Don’t worry, I’ve determined that since Google bought out YouTube, they have to be some incarnation of the devil) I use Google Docs to keep up with my thoughts and stuff I need to write down, Google Calendar to keep track of events and share them with friends and coworkers, Google Mail to organize and send all my email and Google Reader to keep up with all the blogs that I follow. Recently I’ve noticed a problem with the way that Google Reader has trained me to read blogs. When you use Reader, there is no way to quickly leave comments. I have become almost completely non-interactive with most of the blogs that I keep up with simply because it takes so much time to click on an article title, then click on leave comment.
So, if anyone from Google is reading this (lol, sure they are) please, create a way for us to leave comments from within your amazing Reader program. (A little flattery never hurts) I know that the blogosphere would be a more closely knit, comment filled community if we could be lazy and leave comments via Google Reader.

Google Reader is great. With a grasemonkey script it’s integrated into my gmail - I love it.
With full comments in Reader, ClickComments, and a search function, it sure would be ace. Here’s hoping.
