Google Reader in GMail (Another Greasemonkey script)

Google Reader, the online RSS reader from Google had a major upgrade some time back. Check this post to know more about Google Reader.

Mihai Parparita, one of the lead developer of Google Reader has written a Greasemonkey Script to add Reader into GMail. The script added a “Feeds” link within GMail as shown below:

Winston has written another Greasemonkey script to integrate Reader into GMail. Some of the new features are:

• Spilt-window view of GMail and Reader on a single page - I definitely didn’t like this layout, its just not fit for widescreen monitors I guess.
• Links to collapse|expand either GMail or Reader - GMail and Reader are shown in a split pane and this can be collapsed and expanded.
• Integrated Reader uses start-page as specified in Reader’s “Settings”
• Labels selector - You can view the feeds based on the labels in Reader
• Key ‘v’ to open Reader links in a new Window
• Automatic resize of GMail and Reader views
