Gmail Addons Embeds Any Webapp in Gmail
Posted by Adam Pash at 7:55 AM on May 15, 2008
Firefox with Greasemonkey: The Gmail Addons Greasemonkey script embeds any page you specify inside Gmail's interface. By default, it comes with Google Calendar and the Google Talk gadget. (If this sounds familiar, it is—Gmail Addons is an update to the previously mentioned Enhance Gmail script.) Add any other web pages to Gmail by following the directions on the script homepage. If you're willing to dig into manually editing the script, Gmail Addons can embed Google Reader, Notebook, Docs, Remember the Milk, or virtually any other web page you'd like next to or below your inbox. Gmail Addons is free, requires the Greasemonkey extension to run.

This really look like a limited version of the Split Browser Firefox add-on.
It can split any browser window in any number of panels. Not limited to gmail.

This script combined with the Remember the Milk extension creates a great 1-page command centre. You can quickly access gmail, gcal, and rtm tasks all on one page.
You can set the calendar to only display in the central column of the page incidentally, so that it doesn't interfere with the left column like in the screengrab. As well, the same author has a script which makes gcal integrate much more nicely into the rest of the page.
I stumbled across this script just last week, and combined with RTM, I think I can finally stop hunting for my ideal productivity solution. I just leave a protected tab with gmail open all day and I can quickly manage my email, calendar and tasks all from one page.

Greasemonkey seams to greatly increase the memory usage for FF 3b5 on my machine. Anyone else have this issue?

@nka: I have the same concern of memory. It's always seems using a large mount of memory with FF.
