Google has added a mini-feature to Gmail. According to a Google blog post, "Starting this week, you can see headlines from your favorite blogs and news sites right above your Inbox. Gmail tips and relevant text ads appear from time to time as well."
If you click Settings, you can select Web Clips then simply add your RSS feeds. Maybe. My Gmail box doesn't have this feature yet, so perhaps it's being rolled out in stages....
Update: Many thanks to Barry Frost for the comment below: he's right. I just had to change the language setting to English (US) to get the RSS feed working. This appears in one line above the mail app (above Archive/Report Spam etc) with arrows to scroll through the results. It's non-intrusive and looks mostly harmless, but it's feeding me some results that are two or three days old.
