What’s up with Google Reader?

I’ve been trying to access my Google Reader, but I’m getting nothing.  When I click on it, it looks like it’s loading but then doesn’t load anything. It’s just a blank screen with words Google Reader in the upper left hand corner.  It did the same thing all day yesterday until later in the afternoon when it finally loaded. What’s up with that?

Update: Well, wouldn’t you know it.  When I tried to access it immediately after writing this post, it worked.

Update II: It’s doing it again. Come on, Google. Get on the stick and make your product work.
