Google Reader:
j/k -- next item, previous item
m -- mark item (toggle read or unread)
gh -- go to GR homepage
ga -- show "All items" view
gs -- show starred items
gt [tag] -- go to specified tag

This is why I like Google Reader ... very vim like.

GMail also uses the j/k duo for moving to the next or previous
thread ... er, "conversation" ... and n/p for next/previous message.
And, of course, / moves to the search box, just like / starts a search
in vim.  As with vim and Google Reader, g is a frequently used modifier
in GMail -- ga for all mail, gs for starred, gc for contacts, etc.

I tried the vimperator Firefox extension for a while.  There were things
about it I really liked, but it makes working with most of Google's
services very difficult -- something about all the frames GMail,
GCalendar, GReader, etc., use.  In the end, web browsing is probably one
thing that a mouse is somewhat useful for.
