Hey. New board.

I just tried the soon-to-be-new Gmail, actually, and hated it for all the wasted space. Apparently it will be headed in that direction soon, but I got to fill out a feedback form when I switched back to the old style.

I don't mind it for Google Docs, and switched that one over to the new interface a while ago, but it definitely isn't great for gmail/reader.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

right. I don't have a problem with it for google voice either. But Reader and Gmail? Hell no.

If they insist on this, I'll wait for google chrome extensions to re-skin the services.

Hey. New board.

I just found a user style that works pretty decently, applied with Stylish. I don't know if Stylish works in Chrome, but it's good in Firefox. It basically just shrinks the whitespace at the top. [link]

FYI, I have been using feedly this evening and I really like it. You can vary how the articles are displayed, so that flexibility alone wins points for me.

Is Bloglines still around?

I think they are. I seem to remember that, right before they were supposed to pull the plug, I got an email from them saying they were going to keep it going after all. But I'd already migrated to Google Reader.

The one thing I like better about the new reader is it's easier for me to scroll down on my iPad. I always had issues on the old version.

New Gmail help - is there any way to "pin" open the list of filters? I filter EVERYTHING and I don't like having to scroll over the list to expand it before I can see what new mail I have.

is there any way to "pin" open the list of filters?

You mean the labels or folders on the left side? I would like to know that as well. That's one of the reasons I went back to the old style after 10 minutes.
