for those who don't get this: hoodwink'd[0][1] was this experiment/hack/art project by _why some years ago, which allowed implementing a parallel unified commenting system for the web. It was super cool because you'd go to, say, hackernews or slashdot and if you were part of the network you'd get access to a different set of comments, but integrated in the website rather than as an external popup (individual sets of stylesheets+js had to be written for each website of course). For example, here you'd get the blinking hood gif, and on click you'd see new comment threads appearing with red usernames.
Integration came through, iirc, a custom proxy server or a greasemonkey script. It was super cool. [0] https://github.com/whymirror/hoodwinkd
