Flickr is having a massage
Flickr had an
outage last month and it was interesting to see their blog being used to give an
honest update on what was happening.
I've seen different sites handle being offline, Flickr normally put up
'Flickr is having a massage', lastminute.com showed a code to give £10 off next order as way of an apology.
You can easily switch a site powered by ASP.NET using the
App_Offline.htm trick.
Good
article on how myspace.com evolved out of Perl/Apache/MySQL prototype to the 150 ASP.NET servers of today.
