[SYSK] The next big thing in FAIL?
January 12th, 2009 by Dave StudinskiIf it gets the promotion through Twitter, Facebook and snazzy blogs like this, the following site may be the next PostSecret.
What a FAIL : Your everyday life stories
Community failings in an anonymous, streamlined environment?
Why the hell didn’t we think of that?
The site, formed by some French dudes, allows visitors to post a few sentences about something they fail-worthy – all without taking credit for it. The outcome is a Twitter slash Juicy Campus slash Digg-like community full of … fail.
A few highlights from the current posts:
Today, my boyfriend and I were looking for our bublegun flavored “numbing” lotion to have some morning fun. We couldnt find it anywhere. After about 10 minutes, my little nephew comes from my room crying and drool coming out of his mouth. He smelt like bubblegum, his mouth and tongue were all numb. FAIL
Today, after I’d been looking for my mobile for 2 days, I realised that the vegetable compartment in the fridge was vibrating. FAIL
UPDATE: The blog re-branded a few days after this original post, changing it’s name to “F My Life.” The concept is still pretty much the same, so is the site design. Now it’s going viral. And who says profanity doesn’t work?
