How did Yiying Lu’s “Fail Whale” go from an unfortunate placeholder to an entire social media brand?
As with most things on the Internet, it was a little bit of skill mixed with a whole lot of luck, and some randomness thrown in for good measure.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Fail Whale phenomenon, or if you’d like to know a little more about the behemoth beast, then check out ReadWriteWeb’s “The Story of the Fail Whale” and see what you’ve been missing.
Faviconize is a favicon directory that wants to list the best favicons from around the Internet. (And with over 11,500 already, they’re well on their way.)
The favicon is an often overlooked and unfortunately under utilized tool. It’s the little icon/logo in your address bar that gives you a quick and visual differentiator between each site and the next, and it also separates out your bookmarks beyond just text.
Though it’s such a small piece of a website’s overall look and feel, it’s a large part of the functionality of a site, and especially if you want to bookmark that site and return later, which is why Faviconize celebrates each little icon as if it was a little piece of art.
You can favorite them, vote on them, and even sort them by color and rating, which means Faviconize covers just about everything you could ever want to do with a favicon. (And then some.)
