Bird on a Wire

When Twitter messes up, birds die in hordes.  Here’s a sampling:

The fail whale has long been associated with a Tweet breakdown.

But today on Mashable was the dead red bird.

And a slightly different adaption.

These guys from a computer hacking blog are kind of fun.

Twitter has a couple of interesting ones, reserved for major errors.

This one is interesting in that the bird is ok, but his speech is affected.

More death.

I still don’t have any idea why I would want to use Twitter, but when they get hacked the bird carnage is amusing.
