Good Flickr Error Message

Poor Flickr Uploadr. It just can’t help itself. It’s hinky as hell.

Fortunately, Flickr is so good at crafting a friendly user experience, they even get me to feel warm fuzzies about them when their app barfs.

Some of y’all might think it’s too precious by half. But it made me feel good, even though I couldn’t accomplish my goal. And that’s not nothing.

‘course, I’d rather that my pics uploaded. Flickr, fix that buggy OS X Uploadr. Pretty please?

No, that’s not a typo or PHP code run amok. That’s the hashtag I’m fixin’ to use on Twitter to denote “Good Design of the Day” and “Bad Design of the Day” tweets that I, uh, tweet.

Y’know how I was using the “Questionable_Design” tag on Flickr so people could tag pictures of good/bad design? Yeah, it didn’t exactly catch fire and go viral. (Although it has been useful for me to classify design pics that I upload.)

So I’m giving Twitter hashtags a try. Feel free to join in the fun. Got an example of good design? Tweet it and add “#gdotd”. Bad design? Tweet it and add “#bdotd.”
