* Google Reader And Generalissimo Francisco Franco Are Still Dead

Google Reader death watch day 3.

Google Reader broke after I merged two Google accounts and deleted the old account. Google Reader is still dead. I have contacted Google for help but have received no reply. I am now questioning in the wisdom of relying on any of Google’s free services (Gmail, Google Reader, Google Groups, Google Docs), because I am now dealing with a worst case scenario.

Can I pay somebody to fix this problem for me?

Should I go on a hunger strike?
