Problem with this idea is moderation - Google is not going to moderate a discussion that is happening in the side bar of your site.

What is love to see, and tried to make once, is something like this but just shows discussions about a URL from Hacker News/Reddit. Sites that are moderated and people have actual quality discussions (usually). I tried this a long time ago (2014) with a extension project: http://www.3delement.com/?p=394

Searches for discussions and backlinks to your current URL on used. I gave the project up pretty quick but it's still something I'd love to see as a Chrome extension (though might not actually be possible now after the Reddit API changes)
