Well, call me a Google fanboy all you will, but this has to be one of its kind examples of admitting the “we messed up.” Keep rockin’ guys!!
The only other example I can recall is of Johnathan Schwartz when he apologized publicly on his blog to Matt Mullenweg (the brilliant WordPress guys).
I think that the Google Reader service is down. I haven’t received any updates since morning, which is weird and near impossible. Any one else facing the same trouble??
Update 1: Mike Arrington blogs about the same problem here. Also, official post on the last outage is here. I am just praying it comes back online fast!!
Update 2: May not be true at all, but I think the entire Google RSS system is broken because the Techdirt feed on my iGoogle page has also not been updated, while the blog has two updates.
Update 3: Some updates have started appearing on Reader, though not fully. Techcrunch is still missing and so in India Uncut. Holy Cow!!
Update 4: Most of the feeds have been updated including India Uncut and Techcrunch. Also the iGoogle feeds like Cricinfo and Techdirt have also been updated. I think it is functioning normally now. How about a post on Google Reader blog to explain this?

“Want WiFi around? Just flush it down.”
Do you want a free WiFi network? Order online now and have the team of Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) get your connection up and running. Or should I say down!!
Happy Fool’s Day!
