Google Reader to Omnifocus

One problem I have with Google Reader (apart from the hideous information overload that I subject myself to) is quite often I'll read about some gig or event in London, or some website that I should check out when I've got more bandwidth, or some silly Sigur Ros videos that I should download. My current system is just to 'star' the item, however all that means is that I just have this huge list of starred items that I never end up looking at. Instead I have now considered Reader as another source of todo's that should be processed in my OmniFocus inbox appropriately.

After wishing for a while that Google would release a 'Send to Omnifocus' link on Google Reader (yeah sure), I suddenly realised that I already had this functionality: Simply emailing the item to myself using the '+omnifocus' address prefix, I could get GMail to route these items to a @todo label, and then subsequently get the OmniFocus Mail Processor to pick up the items and add them to my inbox. So simple, I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.
