Google Reader Open in Background Safari Extension

When reading news in Google Reader, I have the habit of quickly skimming through the posts and sending the more interesting ones to background tabs for future reading. However, there is no keyboard shortcut to do that. Hence, I made my own little Safari Extension to do so:
