why can't Google reader fetch the items as quickly as gmail can fetch emails?

dpneal – I wan't to know the answer too. It's frustrating to receive the feed an hour (sometimes more) after it's posted, when I used Bloglines it was blisteringly quick, so surely Google can manage the same speed.

I also posted a question on the author's page asking what I needed to change in the script to show the items in expanded view instead of list form. At the moment I have to click and scroll rather than just scroll in Reader. So I'm asking the same question here.

Jack, remove "&view=list" from the code. [ From the definition of READER_LIST_VIEW_URL]

Cheers Ionut, worked perfectly. Now I don't have much need to return to Reader.

They need to get Google Reader out of labs, then they can start the integration process with Gmail. Wahu.

RSS+email is the way to go.. Google will need to get RSS rivers into the forest of folders within a Gmail account. The GM scripts maybe a step in that direction. Only the Tech Community is savvy on GM. whereas the general user only cares about how easy it will be to use!!

btw.. IE7 will have native methods for this.

If you want to use Greasemonkey scripts on RC2.0, just convert them into their own extensions using http://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/script-compiler
I have not needed Greasemonkey for a while now because of this handy tool!
