It would have been amazing if instead of having Google Plus be an entirely separate thing, they had added Google Plus's sharing and discussion features onto Google Reader and grown from that as a base. Something like that could very well still be a thriving product today.

They did, it was called Google Buzz.

They did it before Buzz, it was the bookmarklet and RSS item sharing and discussion features built into Google Reader. Even had rudimentary friend-of-friend-only visibility for shared articles and discussions.
