As I’ve eluded to previously I gave up on Firefox 3.5.x on my MacBook Pro OS X and FreeBSD partitions because it was far too unstable to use without going bat crazy insane. I left Windows for a reason!
For some reason though going back to 3.0.x has caused Google Reader to generate a few errors a day after not having any trouble at all. It could very well be a problem with our home internet connection here not Firefox but it is a weird coincidence.
If it weren’t for the fact all my friends from Twitter, Whole Wheat Radio and the real world used it I’d probably go back to Bloglines full time. In fact at one point I was going to research whether I could subscribe to people’s Google shared items and comments in Bloglines and have people subscribe to my Bloglines shared items and comments from Google Reader. Might be worth looking into again.
I use google reader in chrome
also, the chrome builds in ubuntu are cool
:-)
I’ve been getting that message a lot this weekend.
Could it be that all of the people moving over from Newsgator (it’s going to sync only with Google Reader from August 31at, and those who keep using FeedDemon still have to get a Reader account) is putting a strain on things?
@Nick
Afraid I haven’t used Google Reader in anything other than in a testing capacity, the idea of the company phoning home creeps me out a little. I do use Gmail for some stuff though so I am being completely irrational ;-)
@Neal
That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of that. I wouldn’t have thought a sustained increase from another service would be enough to push something as gigantic as Google over the edge, but perhaps it does. In a selfish way I am glad it’s not just me though
@Ruben
Now you put it like that, it does sound a little silly.
Newsgator are making a cat’s breakfast of the handover though, their forum is full of people completely confused and wondering what to do. May be they’ve f’d up something.
