My 404 Failephant image is getting kicked around the internet like a simile at a metaphor convention thanks to the Scott’s post on Laughing Squid. It’s spreading quickly via Twitter and blogs, and everyone seems to be properly attributing it, which is a pleasant surprise. Thanks all.
It even showed up on Buzzfeed.com in a post [...]
