So you just can’t get enough of your news, huh? The Google Reader Greasemonkey script caused quite a stir when people realized how useful it is to have your feeds located right in your Gmail Inbox. The only downside was that there wasn’t a lot of customization with what you could view.

That is exactly why this new Google Reader script was developed by a different person. It has all kinds of new features over the original script:

• Spilt-window view of Gmail and Reader on a single page
• Links to collapse|expand either Gmail or Reader
• Integrated Reader uses start-page as specified in Reader’s “Settings”
• Labels selector
• Key ‘v’ to open Reader links in a new Window
• Automatic resize of Gmail and Reader views

Yep, you can actually choose to leave your emails visible or collapse them so that there is more room for Google Reader. Best of all is that you can select which labels you want to view in the Reader.

I think this is about as good as it gets without Google actually implementing the feature directly into Gmail, which they should definitely do. I know several people that would probably start using RSS feeds if it was built into Gmail without the need for a script.

Thanks for the tip Chris!
