Twitter Reactions Chrome extension reveals the buzz on any website

If you've ever written a blog post and wondered who's tweeting about it and linking to it on Twitter, wonder no more. A Google Chrome extension called Twitter Reactions can quickly show you the buzz on any webpage you visit. While its most obvious use is the Twitter equivalent of a vanity search, you don't have to use it on your own pages. Twitter Reactions can also reveal the conversation around news stories, downloads, businesses, and more.

The cool thing about an extension like this is that people don't have to put comments into some specific form (as with Google Sidewiki, for example). They can just Twitter about a page as normal, and Twitter Reactions will pick it up. It appears to decode shortlinks, too - at least from bit.ly - so even tweets without the page's full URL will be revealed. Twitter Reactions is definitely one of the most clever implementations I've seen of Twitter as a way to extend comments.
