Remember the Rohrshach tests, where a psychiatrist shows a patient an inkblot and asks them to say the first thing that comes to their mind?
I think the Failwhale could be like that. Let's try it. Look at the picture below and make a note of your initial reaction. Then scroll to the bottom and I'll analyze your reaction to diagnose you.
Okay, scroll down for my analysis.
| If your reaction was... | Then... |
| "Oh, look at the nice little birdies giving that whale a ride!" | You are definitely a "glass half full" kind of person. And to you, "twitter" is just a noise birds make. |
| "Hmm. Twitter's down again. Oh, well." | You are familiar with social networking, but are a well-adjusted person. |
| "It's physically impossible for that few birds to lift something of that mass." | You are an engineer. |
| "Ah, the Failwhale," and then try to think of some witty joke. | You are seasoned in Web2.0/Twitter culture, and you have a sense of humor. |
| To immediately go to Twiddict.com. | You are addicted to Twitter and should seek help. |
| "Those evil birds are killing the whale! Put him back in the water!" | You are a Luddite. And a member of PETA. |
If your reaction was not included in the list above, please enter it into the comments, along with the appropriate diagnosis. Thanks!

Keep it clean and on-topic, folks. Or if not on topic, make it visionary and inspiring. Or at least entertaining. Funny gets you bonus points.
