I totally agree with that! Not that I've ever seriously used another
RSS reader, but Google Reader is, in my opinion, a pretty good example
of how AJAX can really make a website better and not just look more
impressive. Being able to browser through your items using the
keyboard is something that more sites should offer - it makes my life
so much easier. Well, the part of my life that I spend reading blogs,
newspapers and magazines, of course, but that's quite a bit part I'd
say. :)

GMail, for instance, could do with an 'show only unread posts' option.
