Have you ever noticed when going to Twitter, you often times see failure notices on Twitter and on other sites. Yes, these pages, known as 404 error pages, tend to be SUPER ANNOYING somewhat inconvenient. What you should consider when dealing with your own website is how beneficial are you making your 404 error page? For many companies, having an informative and useful for the viewer. I stumbled upon the Designer Daily blog about some of the featured blogger’s favorite 404 error pages. Take a gander at our 404 page when I look up a non-existent “heather” page.

Yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure of receiving a call from a dirtbag gentleman asking me how to clear his search history. This person was signing into his wife’s facebook account and looking up his ex-girlfriend. He then became paranoid about his wife finding out that he was looking up this other woman. I tried to help him, but, as hopefully most of us know, Facebook isn’t a search engine. It doesn’t keep a history of the people you search. The guy insisted that he NEEDED to have this removed, “Every time I type in the letter ‘J’ she pops up in the search results!”. I proceeded to tell the man that it shouldn’t be that big of a deal if some ex-girlfriend randomly popped up in his wife’s search bar. He then volunteered the information that he had an affair with this woman ten years ago and his wife consistently asked him if he ever tried to look up the ex-girlfriend. I asked him why he felt the need to look this woman up now, after ten years of not being in contact with her. His response? “I wanted to see how she was doing.” He was willing to go as far as to drive to the Chicago Facebook headquarters to meet with someone who could help him. He was so desperate to cover his tracks that he would go to any length to “save” his marriage (even setting up a ‘dummy’ account to test his changes before applying them to his wife’s account).

Here is my tip, guy: If you don’t want to get caught or know what you’re doing is wrong, then DON’T DO IT! Of course I’m sure you knew cheating on your wife ten years ago was also a bad idea. Using your wife’s facebook account to cyber stalk an ex-mistress is even STUPID-ER! Next time you have an urge to look up an old flame, try resisting the urge for another ten years. Don’t call a company to help you cover your curiosity tracks.
