A few of you will probably still recall Wiffiti – the SMS chat system that is installed in pubs all over the states!

The Wiffiti guys keep linking to my web site, and so I visit their blog every now and then. There, I saw this image:
 On showing error messages

Hmm. Hundreds of people look at this Wiffiti wall every day, and each one of them sees this error message and thinks about how instable Wiffiti is.

Showing an error message has a reason – one wants someone to notice the error condition and fix it up. However, in this case, there is nothing the operator could do – so the error message does exactly nothing for anyone…

What do you think?

  1. May it be a bad joke from someone? It’s weird an error gets output there as a normal message…

  2. Hi JavisPedro,
    IMHO not – the message looks way to technical IMHO!

    Anyways, there are a few Wiffiti employees reading TamsPalm IMHO – so we should get some feedback rather soon!

    Best regards
