    Apparently that is the case. Here is a link to a blog post by Ed Dale and also a link to an article he refers to from DMNews explaining the situation.

    Yea, I was having the same problem and I only thought that this was a temporary problem. This is depressing for me espcially because I was just getting the hang of the tool and depending on it more and more... Now, what to do?

    Maybe we should have like a 5 minute tribute to the death of the tool where no one is to post during the period...

    this is why the good keyword tool is not working when I am trying to do a search..
    Question: don't wordtracker use the inventory tool to do queries?

    At first, I thought it was just a glitch, but it couldn't be accessed for the past 2 days.
