Black Friday – 404, Site not available, and others from your favorite sites

November 25th, 2009 · No Comments

My small collection of my favorite 404 and error messages on the web, from mostly big sites.  Some are humorous, some are quirky, and I think they are all great.  No one is perfect.

Enjoy.

Top web site error pages – my favorites.

1) barrackobama.com – simple, to the point, diffusing.

2) Plaxo.com – (oops! There seems to be a problem.  I’ll tell you what… let us fix it and this can be our little secret.)  humorous

3) crowdspring.com – (our servers are currently fighting among themselves and we’re putting them into a timeout.) – if you have kids you will appreciate this.
