GMail Fail Whale

by toddynho on August 12, 2008

Yesterday when GMail went down, my friend Dan who sits on the other side of the tree next to my desk said “hey Todd, you should make a GMail fail whale”.  So, I did.  Dan posted the image on his blog and I also emailed it to TechCrunch since they had a story going on the GMail outage.  Luckily, TechCrunch picked it up, and credited us for the image.  The story was also picked up by the Washington Post (who syndicated from TechCrunch) and has resulted in a little bit of traffic.  Not bad for some unintentional link bait.  Thanks to TechCrunch for publishing the image and crediting us with a link back to WebsiteGrader.com!

Here’s a screenshot of the imge on TechCrunch:
