Apparently the Google Reader back-end has been still chugging along on life support, providing a variety of quiet services (only the front-end having been taken out behind the barn and shot sent out to the country where it could romp and play with other retired Google products).
Until November 14th, when apparently someone got around to unplugging the server.
Which makes perfect sense, because it was right about then when a script call I had in the sidebar of my blog, which was pulling on a list of sites in one of my old Google Reader groups to serve as a link list, suddenly stopped working.
Sigh.

We all know how to stop a zombie, right? Get it in the head. Fine in the movies or “The Walking Dead,” but it’s not so simple for zombie products or technologies. Case in point: Google Reader. The product was “killed” by Google in the middle of 2013, and it was no longer available to end users.
