PubMed Commons is a system that enables researchers to share their opinions about scientific publications. Researchers can comment on any publication indexed by PubMed, and read the comments of others. PubMed Commons is a forum for open and constructive criticism and discussion of scientific issues. It will thrive with high quality interchange from the scientific community. PubMed Commons is currently in a closed pilot testing phase, which means that only invited participants can add and view comments in PubMed.
Update:
And there is a new field for Entrez: via

You should also see the discussion at Retraction Watch about this:
EDIT (after trying it out): I commented on the Biostar paper to kick the tires. I wondered what would happen if you invited an author--I thought that might be interesting to try and potentially useful (also a spam risk). But you have to know the author's email apparently.
People have found this post helpful: Joining PubMed Commons: A Step-by-step Guide. If you want an invite and have a PubMed article I'm happy to try to give you an invite. Need one of your Pubmed IDs + the email for your MyNCBI account and I will do that invite as shown in the graphic here. That seemed to work for someone I invited.
Are they importing comments from other sources? The comments on the DESeq paper dates from June: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20979621/
The PLoS journals also have this option, though so far seems to get very little use.
