As demonstrated on the spreadsheet at the moment, Google Docs supports
inline comments. A colored triangle in the top right corner of a cell
indicates someone made a comment (everyone gets a different color!).
Simply hover over the cell to view the comment.

To make a comment you simply right-click on the cell whose content you
want to comment on and 'Insert Comment'.

The recommend way to follow up on a comment is to make a new comment on
the same cell, but let's see how this goes since if one cell gets lots
of comments it could become cumbersome.
