That's a real shame that they ween't prepared for this, but seriously,
who's prepared for a 10X spike overnight?

There's a lesson here though...  Not just Google Reader, but other products
have seen quick outflows of users for various reasons. Competitors would be
wise to keep a plan on the back burner in the event that a company shuts a
service down or suddenly screws up monumentally (I'm looking at you
Instagram/Flickr).
