Who has the best sorry page ?
Even the best have some down time. But not every web company keeps a sense of humor about it… here are a few examples.
____________________________________________________
Google : if we’re not back, you’re in trouble, so cross your fingers.
____________________________________________________
Flickr : You have a massage.
____________________________________________________
More Flickr : This time, it’s hiccups.
____________________________________________________
Myspace: while we’re down, you can still waste your time..
____________________________________________________
Reddit : really looking sorry.
____________________________________________________
Digg : While not digging, digg this…
____________________________________________________
Technorati : where has the monster gone? he probably got sick of blogs.
__________________________________________________________
Windows live : even they recognize they suck !
____________________________________________________
Twitter : So sorry….
____________________________________________________
Youtube : we are actively fixing it.

Zapping a few gremlins…

I agree with the comment that a good 404 should not redirect on its own, I would much rather have choice or be told I missed a target.
I’m not sure if this one qualifies as good but maybe a bit funny.

I think stumble upon has the best one. But it’s not on here. It says something to the effect of they’re down temperately so you should try going outside. There’s like a simplified/cartoony playground type picture.

One of my favorites is the pmog taskbar, if something goes wrong, it says, “Tubes are clogged – try again later”
Killbored.com Deffinately does.

No Grooveshark? Grooveshark’s is the best. “We’re sorry but a panda has been chewing on the cables”
or something along those lines
torrentz.com has a pretty jokes down message. its a picture of a hamster saying something close to our hamster powered servers are overrun give them a minute to rest
