Cacophony.  That's pretty.  What's it mean?

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Yep, those.
