Friday are fun times are they not?

I have always liked the Twitter Fail Whale. Somehow the frailities of web applications, not able to scale has made the service more human. Possibly added to the appeal of the “we are normal folks unlike Google” kind.

I saw the fail whale equivalent Oops Merlin at LinkedIn today.

So which one do you like? I personally prefer the Whale. I am partial to animals though. Either one says a lot about companies turning their biggest negative press into a positive mention.

That’s the takeaway.
