Errr, I was just trying to sign-up for a new Technorati account this evening, and I was presented with a fairly horrifying message.

Brrr… I don’t want to be in their head sysadmin’s shoes right now. I bet he’s literally freezing his butt off in the data center right about now.

brb Ouch! We've lost a master database and are restoring from backup. Technorati will be back up soon.

At least the error message looks kinda cool – and not a standard “Times New Roman” font. Or is it because they have outages thaaat often that they decided to design it while waiting for the restoration to be complete? *shrug*

[UPDATE]

Hey look, I found another error message – quite funkily crafted too! Looks like they like designing their error messages alright…

Technorati Error - Doh! The Technorati Monster Escaped Again.

    I haven’t logged into my Technorati account for a while. I guess the lesson here is to backup often.
