More seriously, this is the first I’ve heard of the FeedBurner
issue. But I suspect the GMail/GoogleAppsMail issues are one set of
very related problems that will be fixed quickly, if they haven’t
already.

As much as people claim some of these online services to be
unreliable, most have done very well. Yes, GMail/Google had issues this
week, but when was the last time prior they had issues prior to that?
I’d say the same about most other web-based apps. (Forgetting MobileMe
and even its .Mac predecessor.)

Feedburner’s zero subscriber issues are upsetting a lot of users,
today my stats weren’t zero, but they were cut in half. It’s been going
on for a couple of weeks at least I think.

It’s just that having kept all these plates spinning for so long that they seem to have let all of them smash at once.

Either that, or it’s a great big social experiment to see the reaction :)
