The Lies Web Sites Tell

October 15th, 2003 Comments Off on The Lies Web Sites Tell

I was in the middle of an Ofoto order (lots of pictures of the Doodlebug!), when its site went down. Up popped a screen that read, “We are currently experiencing a high volume of Ofoto members uploading and sharing their photos.” That’s right up there with “currently conducting standard site maintenance” or “updating our server,” which is on par with “I’ll call.” Sure, no company wants to admit its site went down, but really, how dumb do they think we are? Does anyone believe them? Baby Center gets high marks for having the most creative site-down page: it’s a picture of a bare-butted baby and it reads, “You caught us with our pants down.”
