news.google.de/ is currently showing empty rows, after days of less and less reliable results and many timeouts.

Just to comfirm, I get the same results here (UK) for news.google.de , news.google.co.uk however, is fine

In Germany all news are now available

was this a glitch because they integrated into FB ??

I had a blank iGoogle page today. (non logged in version)

Google News (US) insists on taking me to the mobile version.

Weird..
This shouldn't be happening to a NON beta service. :/
But no one is perfect. :)

BTW,
Colin;
I'm getting the full " Make your own iGoogle " page in the non logged in version.

You (or anyone else) still getting it?

10 minutes ago: news.google.com -> no personalized recommendations. (I am signed in, of course.)

Currently, "things" are back to "normal". Damn entropy.

Anyone tried to get an official response from Google?

Maybe Philipp?

(And yes, i do know Matt Cutts works for Google, but i'm talking about a more comprehensive response. Like, why Google News had these problems in the first place, and so forth...)

that's because of the lack of energy!
google is saving energy now :)

Oh! No news is BAD news!

David – I logged in after I took that screenshot of the iGoogle page and after logging out I never saw that exact page again. It could have been another test of personalizing the page without signing into a Google account. Just seemed to be pretty empty to me.

So this might mean as you said, Google's next step of personalization eh?

Cool :) (Or is it?)

Yes, I sent off a question to them yesterday, will see if they reply anything today... nothing so far, but it was weekend and they're just waking up now in California I guess :)

Waking up!? At 4.30 surely even Googlers are still dreaming about petabytes and terraflops... :)

I don't think they ever sleep. Like Peter Dawson :P

Hope an Update is coming

Bears sleep less than that in your world.. :P
