Google Reader Personalized Homepage Module
The Google Reader team has released a module for the Google IG Personalized Homepage, letting you read RSS feeds in the page in a much more efficient way. The real great way to use the module? Create multiple instances of it (yeah, it does that), and set each one to only display a specific label (yeah, that too), and you get boxes of labeled feeds, each displaying multiple categorized feeds. What a wonderful way to read RSS feeds!
I just with IG supported multiple pages like Live.com does, so I could create a Google Reader-only page.
I feel this is the right place to also point out an unofficial but quite excellent google calendar module:

It’s also ridiculous that the G-reader has no option to mark all articles as read.

I don’t know about this one. I tried adding the Google Reader to my Google Personalized page.
Now my Google Personalized page hangs for 5-15 seconds when I try to load it.
The performance of the Google Reader module seems absurdly poor. It was so bad as to make my entire My Google page nearly useless to me, so I had to remove the module.
I’d think that, if anyone realized the value of fast loading pages, it would be Google.

A few days later, the problem I mentioned above appears to be resolved. Everything seems to work just dandy now.
