This is a nice tip for people who might want to integrate Google Reader into the Firefox sidebar.  Recently Google has made improvements to the mobile version of Google Reader, which has included support for the iPhone.  However, you can also use the mobile page in the sidebar in Firefox.  This is easy and quick to do.

1. In Firefox (I’m in Firefox 3), create a new bookmark by opening the bookmark organizer.  In Firefox 2 you can go to the File menu and select the new bookmark option.  In the bookmark organizer, you’ll have to open the folder where you want the new bookmark to be located, then right click and select new bookmark.
2. Type in a name, and http://www.google.com/reader/i/ in the location bar.
3. Check the “Load this bookmark in the sidebar” option.  Then click OK to create your new bookmark.

Then you can just use that bookmark to open Google Reader in Firefox’s Sidebar.  The only thing that I don’t really like about this method is that you have to read everything in the sidebar.  You could expand the sidebar to give you more viewing space, but I think it would probably be easier to just go to the main Google Reader site.
