Race to a Million for Malaria

April 17, 2009 SORD Leave a comment

A few days ago, Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) challenged CNN (@cnnbrk)to a race to garner 1M followers at Twitter. Why? Well, it started as a test on the powers of the media network as the most influential company online (If he wins, Kutcher says he will "ding-dong ditch" CNN founder Ted Turner’s house.) But as days passed, it has become much more than just a challenge of egos.

It became a huge phenomenon that companies such as EA Games pledged 10 games to lucky @aplusk followers and a special character on SIMS 3 for the 1,000,000th follower.

Kutcher, on his part, pledged 10K moquito nets to the “Malaria No More” group.

It was quite entertaining to see these tweets:

wt49e81be1709d6

wt49e81c57e2be3

wt49e81cfb05971

So who won? Kutcher, because he is, after all, the king of Twitter.

CNN has conceded (it reached it’s millionth mark an hour after Kutcher):

Congratulations to @aplusk and to Malaria No More.

The Day Websites Had Fun

April 2, 2009 SORD Leave a comment

I bet the administrators of these 2 sites got a kick out of doing these (click on images to view larger versions)

1) YouTube

I was checking out the videos YT recommended to me today and this was what I got when I clicked on one of the thumbs:

2) Wikipedia

I rarely go to the Wikipedia Homepage, but today, I decided to check it out since I wasn’t really searching for anything in particular. At first glance, I didn’t see anything wrong with it, but when I started reading the featured articles and information, I realized that they were all bogus.

Simple, yet absolutely amusing.

Now I’m looking forward to what they will do next year.

Error Messages Have Never Been This Cute

March 26, 2009 SORD 1 comment

I have never received an error message from Twitter. The worst I’ve experienced were short delays in receiving Tweets. That should be good, right?

Yeah, except I’ve been wanting to encounter this:

Meet the FailWhale.

It was meant to be a simple, yet cute, way of saying “HOLD YOUR HORSES GUYS!”

But now, it has become a brand on its own, adding on to the popularity of Twitter.

 

There’s the FailWhale Store:

I think this is the only webpage glitch that people clamor for.

Kudos to Twitter for the ingenuity. This definitely deserves a toast…

Care for a FailWhale Martini?

 

 

For those who are curious:

 

Whale cartoon was designed by Yiying Lu of Australia

Error Message name was first coined by Nick Quaranto
