Google Reader in Gmail Hack
Posted by Hendry Lee on 10/17/06 in RSS Readers
Google had redesigned Google Reader, making it much more user friendly. If you monitor the blogosphere about the buzz, many bloggers — who are also webfeed consumers — are now migrating from Bloglines to Google Reader.
If you have been using either Gmail or Bloglines, you should be familiar with the new interface. I think this is also one of the reasons why people migrate.
Persistent.info has an idea — a cool hack — including the script for the implementation, to integrate Google Reader into Gmail. It works under Firefox browser only, because it uses Greasemonkey extension — an addon that could help modify layouts and interface of a web page in Firefox instantly.
The script will add a new menu named “Feeds” in Gmail. When clicked, Reader’s list view is loaded on the right.
Looking at the comments available on the site, I saw some complaints about the script. Some failed to make it work. Others resulted in browser crash. If you do not have the guts to test things out, at least wait until a stable version is available for public use.

I’m starting to get more GOOGLE READER referrals to my blog although BLOGLINES still dominates. I checked out GOOGLE READER as a result and am quite impressed with the interface.
