Except the fireworks. After the ending ceremony, Beijing was illuminated by fireworks everywhere in the sky:Google Reader Unread Count
Gmail is my Firefox home page and is always open as long as Firefox is there. So I wrote this Greasemonkey script to show Google Reader’s unread count in the nav-bar of Gmail. A good place, isn’t it?
The script checks for the unread count every 8 minutes. But after you click the “Reader” link, it checks the count 1 minute later and extend the interval by 1 minute after every check until the interval returns to 8 minutes again.
Install Greasemonkey，and then install this script。

Thanks for that – I like it.
I added the line:
readerLink.setAttribute(‘target’,'_parent’);
below
readerLink.innerHTML = ‘Reader (‘ + count + ‘)‘;
so that it opens in the same window, rather than a new window. I like the change
