DDoS SUCKS: Create a Custom Twitter Outage Avatar
August 7th, 2009 admin

Twibbon , a neat service that lets you customize your Twitter avatar to support movements you believe in – from charities to IE6 No More – is releasing a new series of Twitter ribbons today in light of yesterday’s Twitter outage (see Twitter Down ). The new ribbons include a Fail Whale (my favorite), “DDoS SUCKS”, the Fail Caterpillar and an upside-down Twitter bird. The Twibbon concept is both effective and wonderfully simple: it provides a great way to rally around a cause and identify with a group on Twitter .
