Overview

Commenting is broken: the way we share information has evolved over the last 15 years, but commenting hasn't. ReadSocial adds contextual conversations to websites and ebooks. By installing a few lines of code, publishers add paragraph-level comments and responses (including images, text and links). ReadSocial also offers hashtag-based groups; change the hashtag to change the overlay. We're an API for publishers; we charge for traffic.
