La balena di Twitter diventa un ciondolo

Spread the love

Tutti gli utenti di Twitter hanno incontrato, almeno una volta nella vita la “Fail Whale“, cioè la balena di Twitter che appare quando il sistema è fuori uso per il troppo traffico. Tuttavia, negli anni la balena ha conquistato sempre più fan sulla rete, tanto che oggi ha un proprio sito internet.

Gli utenti Twitter più assidui se la sono fatta addirittura tatuare sul braccio, ma anche senza arrivare a questi estremi, la fantasia ci offre molti modi per dimostrare la propria devozione a questo sistema di micro-blogging.

Un esempio recente ci viene proprio dal girocollo Fail Whale ideato dalla designer di gioielli Lori Magno, e dedicato alla celebre balena. Ma come è possibile che questo simbolo negativo, questo messaggio di errore, sia diventato una delle immagini più amate dai navigatori di tutto il mondo?

Una possibile spiegazione del fenomeno ci arriva proprio da Lori Magno.

The Fail Whale – he is such a Frail Whale, and yet he still makes people love him. I don’t know why. I guess it’s because he keeps a smile on his face that his fan club grows and grows. This whale doesn’t ride alone, he’s got a feathered friend keeping watch over him and riding along near the clasp.

Che tradotto in poche e semplici parole vuol dire: ma come si fa a non amare quel sorriso?

  2. My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
