See posts are supposed to be on one topic but rarely are. If I want to call attention to a specific part of the post or a particular quote, I can. I read a lot in Reader and would rather not have to switch to a different tool to have this ability. As a matter of fact I have signed up for other tools but went back to GR because it is the best tool for reading and sharing. This feature just made it better.

They also announced a bookmarklet to let you bring anything on the web into Reader, but there’ve been a couple ways to do that already, I was using the Instapaper route and there’s also a different bookmarklet. For me annotation is the big noise and as Reader gets more fully featured comparisons between it and other aggregators is inevitable, FriendFeed por ejemplo.
