Google Reader Unread Count

Display actual unread count instead of "1000+" in Google Reader

In Google reader it will display "1000+" if your unread item goes beyond it. This script will sum up the unread item of each feed and display the actual unread count.

It adds a button (the Google Reader icon) besides the unread count, click on it will do the calculation and update the unread count with the actual number. This is not the best solution as it doesn't auto-update but at least can give you the number you want.

This script does work and does provide info that Google Reader does not. To activate it, see the icon next to "All items". Just click on it.
