Google Reader offers Offline Mode!

Finally! What all RSS readers have been waiting for! Google is now offering an offline version of Google Reader. You’ll now see a “Go Offline” link on the top right that, when clicked, prompts you to install Google Gears. Gears is an open source extension to the browser that lets you store and serve data locally as well as housing data in its own internal relational database. You simply go to a page that is configured to use Gears and give Gears permission to run content on that domain name. This also means offline Gmail, Gdocs, and Gcal!
