Introducing the Unofficial Facebook Fail WhaleJuly 22nd, 2008 at 8:04 pmSource:Mashable! There’s no way, particularly with today’s gas prices, you can turn down at least a look at an idea for getting free gas. One of the interesting startups we discovered at the SummerMash Seattle stop is a local startup that sells the advertising space … on your car .. in return for free gas. They are aptly named GasForFree. Introducing the clip today is my son AJ. I was a bit busy in the studio rendering the mountain of videoed interviews from the SummerMash tour, so he graciously at in with Sean today to introduce today’s Mashable Conversation.

On Friday, with Facebook experiencing some downtime, we asked you “When Facebook Goes Down, What Should its Fail Whale Look Like?,” a reference to the iconic Twitter fail whale you see when the microblogging service is having technical difficulities. We received a lot of great submissions in the comments, but had to narrow it down to two winners for the $25 iTunes gift certificates. Without further ado, here they are, with a bunch of honorable mentions after the jump: Submitted by mghwom Submitted by balebond Submitted by lowkey Submitted by Amanda Submitted by konko Submitted by Joshua Kalle Comments: Seanford: A burglar’s eye mask you can print, cut out and ware to conceal your identity as you are going to have to stalk you ex-girlfriend from her bushes now instead of on-line. Marni: They should sell advertising on this page at a super high CPM! Maybe they’ll be the first ads on FB to see major success? Elliot: it should be a phishing page for myspace, and if anyone logs in, or registers, they should delete their facebook account. Nicki: I believe that we should stay in the world of the big animals, so Facebooks fail whail should be a sleeping dinosaur that is about to get hit by an asteroid. why? Well because just like the dinosaurs is Facebook to big and clumsy to do anything about the fail / asteroid that is about to hit them when the users finds out that Facebook don’t have a 99% uptime. If you’re one of the top two, please get in touch so we can send you your prize! —Related Articles at Mashable! - The Social Networking Blog:When Facebook Goes Down, What Should its Fail Whale Look Like?Mr. Splashy Pants and the Tale of a Hijacked PR CampaignYouTube Epic FailsElite Tech News #13: Fishing in a Sea of IdiotsFacebook Virtual Currency AceBucks Raises $1.5 MillionABC News Bombs on Facebook, As Predicted By YouFacebook Tells Twitter to SHUT UP
