It's not fun trying to program something with Google Trends and Google Sets in the back-end. Both services are down a lot since yesterday, on and off. Can't reach http://www.google.com/trends at the moment, and I had to give up on Google Sets completely.

dont know what about you Philipp,
but it works fine for me :/

Google Trends is back here too. Oh well. It's labs :D

lol.. ;)

just a general question:
Labs = Beta right?!
(im 99% sure)

PS:
refering to the topic:
what other services has been down lately?

Well, I just saw Trends and Sets being down a lot the last two days. Not sure if it's connected to them being Labs products, actually. I just got the feeling this is not the down-time you're used to on e.g. Google web search.
