Philipp Lenssen reports that dozens if not hundreds of Google Personalized Home Page users have lost their personalized settings.

As of now, I currently see my customized and tailored Google home page but literally hundreds of people are commenting at Google Blogoscoped, Digg.com and Google Groups about this exact issue.

Postscript: This appears to now be resolved. Users began reporting their personalized settings showing up again at about 4:30am (EST) this morning.
