Everyone reaps iPhone attention: Google sidebar Reader

by JG Mason on May 18, 2008 at 09:17 AM

google reader sidebarWith all the attention everyone is giving to the iPhone and optimizing services for it, a growing number of applications are actually getting better for all of us.  Here is one little improvement for the iPhone that works great with Firefox.  This neat trick brings Google Reader to a sidebar in your Firefox (others too if you must) browser and it is pretty cool.

This fun trick opens up Google’s Reader in a very easy to read yet not obtrusive sidebar with all my RSS feeds just begging to be checked out.  Here is how you swing this:

1. Open the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks…)
2. In Firefox 2, in the File menu, select New bookmark… In Firefox 3, press Organize in the toolbar and select New bookmark…
3. Enter a name, http://www.google.com/reader/i/ for location, and ensure to check Load this bookmark in the sidebar.
4. Press Save Changes and now you can select the bookmark to load Google Reader in the sidebar.
