Google Reader Adds HTML 5 Support

As part of a slew of updates to Google Reader, HTML 5 video and audio tags are now supported.

Updates to Google Reader:
● HTML5 video and audio tags
● Not interested link at the bottom of recommended items
● Banner that appears whenever a new version is released
● Home view loads faster
● Send to functionality less susceptible to popup blockers

Improvements to Reader Play:
● When you hit space (or shift-space), you're now automatically moved between posts, and for posts with multiple images, cycled through each image
● Play is more configurable by letting you change the URL used:
- If you add a welcome=0 query parameter, the welcome screen is skipped, even for new and signed-out users.
- An autoplay=1 query parameter can be used to start moving through posts automatically.
- A #feed/ fragment allows you to display a specific feed.
● All these combine to make automatically playing slideshows of your favorite photoblogs
