Well this sucks -- Google Reader (and from what I can tell a lot of Google Labs facilities) have gone bye bye.
Just can't reach the sites. When this tool works it is great but when it screws up it is painful (lately I have been plagued with tons of red "Oops... error messages" from it). Now it has just disappeared off the face of the earth.
10:14 EST -- seems back now -- can get my news fix again.
