why Flickr rocks, reason #1376

I have about a million ideas in my head for things I want to do to our library website, and one of them is improving (and lightening up) our 404 page. To that end, I’ve been screen-capturing every neat & fun 2.0 error page I’ve come across for months. Today, I thought it was time to get them up in an album on Flickr.

Then I started poking around to see if anyone else has been collecting similar screen shots and I found this – a Flickr group devoted to Web 2.0 error pages. Brilliant! I still haven’t come up with a fun & snappy error message for our site, but at least I now have someplace to go for inspiration (and I don’t have to do all the screen-capturing myself)!

Hi Amanda, you have my vote for the error page with the cat messing around with the orange screw driver, with the comment: ‘im in your serverz making thingz better!!!’ very cute. very funny. =^..^=

Great find! We were just talking about customizing error pages on our website, and hopefully this will inspire us a bit.
