Best Error Messages Ever: Fail Whale

October 5, 2010

Well maybe, depending on the accuracy of the movie.  The fail whale came to mind as I was watching The Social Network over the weekend. In the movie Mark Zuckerberg accuses Eduardo Saverin (original co-founder and CFO) of jeopardizing the social network by cutting off finances and subsequently almost taking down the servers. The fail whale disproves his prediction over and over again, reliability is not the death of a social network. Or, is that a cute animal should be your real “back up” plan?

      Ha ha I read your post and enjoyed your assessment of the movie and life. I think many of us were left with that feeling of ‘what have I accomplished?’ which is half depressing half inspiring. Thanks for the note.
