Regaining my focus on the clever 404 pages of the world wide web (now on computers for those of you who were waiting), I caught this humorous error screen this morning at 140it.com. 140it exists for one reason- to makes your tweet less than 140 characters.
Rur-Roh
We’ve noticed an error and are working on getting it fixed.
Google has posted an interesting little piece entitled “2008: The year in spam” over on the Official Google Enterprise Blog. This interesting analysis from the Postini Message Security team tells a little bit about our times.
Even big bad Facebook isn’t immune to the occasional web app error. It is a bit rough when you get this on their homepage.
Sorry, an error has occurred.
We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
New York City Major Michael Bloomberg announced a new web resource today on the Google Blog. A video details how you can explore all NYC has to offer while leaning heavily on Google technologies. Google maps, earth, APIs and of course mobile are all there.
The new Official New York City Information Center at 810 Seventh Avenue, between 52nd and 53rd Streets features some great, Google-powered interactive map tables. Not only can you navigate the city, but you can create personalized itineraries and take them with you.
Check it all out on nycgo.com. Apparently NYC loves Google! who knew?
Not too comforting to find an application error in the website of a network security package you are about to evaluate. SolarWinds needs a lesson in .Net application security. Quite the verbose error message for a hacker looking to get started.
I caught this great little “Oops!” screen over at Plaxo. Not so much a little secret…
Oops!
There seems to be a problem. I’ll tell you what… let us fix it and this can be our little secret. Please wait 30 seconds and try again.
ProxyVote reports the dood ‘ole “The application has encountered an error. How helpful- perhaps there is an actual reason to vote on paper now.
We are sorry, but internet proxy voting is unavailable at this time. Pleas try again later.
I spent some time today checking out fizy. Fizy is an audio search tool which looks inside of videos for the music. They describe it as an easy to use online jukebox searching a library of more than 50 apis.
There are no playlists or downloads, but the audio selection is enormous- upwards of 75 billion! Rick Turoczy over at ReadWriteWeb said: “Diving through the Fizy music selection made me nostalgic for the good old days of Napster when I could find practically any song I wanted to find.” It isn’t quite that good, but it does provide a huge selection.
The folks at Meebo have hung a fun Christmas logo on their site.
