Twitter Fail Whale Earns a Fan Club
For those of you not familiar with Twitter, the Fail Whale is what is shown when the service is down. And during the month of June the Fail Whale’s appearances were proportional to his real life equivalent - that is, a lot. Burdened by the tremendous amount of free time suddenly on their hands twitter users started applying their copious skill to something productive - like making t-shirts.
This Fail Whale design comes from the ‘Fail Whale Cares’ shop on Zazzle.com. Pricing varies but, as pictured, most cost around $20. Where one site has a failure another has a booming business?
