My design for Twitter's "over capacity" screen

    Newer Older

    I was getting frustrated with seeing the the original birds-carrying-whale version all the time. So I thought I'd mix it up a bit.

    Based on the awsome original Fail Whale illustration by @yiyinglu.

    Proud to be a part of www.whatisfailwhale.info/.

      I love it. I never did understand why they have a whale failing. It's the twitter bird, not a random whale.

      @Christoph The whate is symbolic of gluttonous consumption. It's a sly way of saying we silly users "over use" the service.
