Google Reader losing feeds?

63 thoughts on “Google Reader losing feeds?”

1. Yeah, I lost my feeds. I thought it was a glitch because I just yesterday consolidated two different google accounts into one (basically imported my feeds into my Gmail login).

   So I did a re-import, and they all came back, including read/unread flags.

   Very strange.

3. Mine came back after about half an hour. The only problem I had with them then was they persisted in showing all items rather than only updated items, regardless of the setting for awhile.

   Then that cleared up. But I didn’t even realize that Reader had an export, so I’ll definitely do that.

5. A fair number of people (including me) are having problems with the short cut keys just disappearing. This is since the “Gears” introduction but doesn’t require it to be installed for the problem to occur:

7. The Reader team has been keeping folks informed here:
   http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Reader/browse_thread/thread/4fc3506602be4b69

   Looks like people’s feeds should be back by now, but I’m sure the Reader team will be digging into what happened. If anyone wants to backup their OPML file (which is always a good idea), click on Settings->Import/Export in Google Reader.

9. I just noticed Google reader also does not work in HTTPS SSL mode. That means that everybody in my office can potentially steal my TCP packets in clear text and tell what I am reading about . So can my ISP, and they can sell the data to hitwise. So can any agency without a warrant by tapping the network traffic on LAN from an adjacent office. So can anybody with airdump if I use Google reader from wifi in a coffee shop.

17. Mine are gone and some have come back. I just added 5 new feeds last night and they are M.I.A. I had the same problem with Google spreadsheet. It was gone for a day and magically came back. I wonder if ZOHO has this problem….?

19. Robert, the feeds were definitely gone for about an hour. The discussion board Matt mentioned should have the updates. But it has been all restored. It was a good reminder to back up often. Trends data and feeds got wiped out.

21. Temporary glitch around 4:30pm EST. Lost all feeds, but I saw all my old folders that I had deleted when i changed my feeds around 3 / 6 months ago. I took a deep breath and figured they were doing some work, and within 5 mins or so, everyting came back correctly. Now, at 9pm EST, everything is fine, and fast. I have confidence in Google.

31. Hey Robert!

    Can you do me (and the Internet) a big favour?

    I noticed that you are able to use various services available on the Internet to track what people are saying about you / posting links to you / etc.

    The next time you need an idea for a post, could you write out how you use these various services and how to make them work? I’m sure a lot of people out there are able to do this… but I’m in the dark.

    Thank you so much! I would really find that useful.

    Cheers,

    Jeremy

    First Gmail, now GReader. Where will the Google monster hit next? At any rate, make sure you use http://share.opml.org with your OPML file.
