An RSS Feed Reader for Google Chrome
In his technology blog, Digital Inspiration, Amit Agarwal, describes a great Chrome add-on called "Feeder". It is, as Agarwal explains, " like a mini Google Reader embedded in Chrome ? it tracks RSS Feeds and offers instant notifications whenever new content is available."

You can even add your email to Feeder and it will notify you. Very cool!
