Well, the +1 button worked for a good 10 minutes, and then my site stops responding trying to pull the js from google. down for 2 minutes, now back up again.

Must be a frenzy.

EDIT: when it came back up, it also didn't have my saved +1. I had to redo it.

Seems pretty buggy right now.

EDIT 2: Okay, my site is down again. I'm removing the button for awhile.

That seems hard to believe. The buttons seem to show up fine on tech crunch and google search.

It's difficult to imagine that Google has been 'slashdotted' due to serving up a javascript widget...

I certainly agree, it's not like I don't use google to host jquery, or any other number of things.

However it was seriously hanging on that one js call. Perhaps it's just my experience, but I'm going to wait at least an hour before I try again. I like my site responding.

Put the script tag after the content of your site.

Yeah, I did have it in the header, when it readd it in an hour, I'll have it at the bottom.
