Better Gmail-Google Reader Combo

When we met with the Google Reader team before they relaunched their product, I asked them why they didn’t combine their RSS reader with Gmail. The product manager’s response was, ‘what about blogs that update all the time, wouldn’t that crowd your email inbox?’ It didn’t seem like they had seriously considered including the reader as part of another pane, below the regular inbox. But since the official release, people from inside the company and out have been releasing Greasemonkey scripts to do just that. Today Download Squad writes about a new one that they think is great; I will have to try it out.
