Google Reader: Gearing Offline Feed Reading!!

I was wondering what feed reader I’ll use since I switched from Windows to [Ubuntu] Linux, again…

… when I saw a very pleasant surprise from Google Reader:

 

Set up Google Reader for offline use.

This feature enables you to read your 2000 most recent items even when your computer is not connected to the internet.

To use the offline features of Google Reader, you will first need to install the Google Gears plug-in for your browser.

Before you begin:

This installation requires that you restart your browser, so we recommend you close all other windows before you begin.

Right on time, Google!

Well, I guess one more of those little Google goodies won’t really hurt that much… 😉

Note: 2000 items? Google sweetheart, I never remember you being so overly conservative before…?
