Discussions were added to Google Docs and Presentations earlier this year. Now you can add discussions (comments) to spreadsheet cells. To create a discussion, click on a cell to select it and from the "Insert" menu choose "Comment"
If a cell has a discussion in it, you'll see an orange triangle in the upper right corner of the cell and when you click on the cell, the discussion will pop up.
