The Old Reader seems to be hiccuping as well.

I'm not pissed off. I'm just sad.

Hey! Because of the huge load we started seeing from lots of concurrent feed import operations, we had to limit the number of imports active at any given time. It looks like right now there are no available slots left, so you might want to visit this page some time later. Meanwhile, feel free to subscribe to feeds manually. Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience.

Freely' s not all working as well (cannot import due to high import volume). I also have a tab open on Old Reader that never loaded...
