I suspect it's more the "Looks like we can't find what your looking for" than the "oh noes".

Good spot! We are planning to do a full site audit of that stuff, just been too busy with start-up life. We have 6 full time staff and not over a thousand like others.

It's not really about the spelling error itself. It's about the fact that you don't have the time to look for things like that, because of start-up life.

My point is that if that detail is missed, I begin to worry about other, more important details - such as security and the safety of my data.

Think of it as the "brown M&M test."

All good. Best of luck with it. :-)

I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out what the fuss was about before I realized they fixed it! Woops. However, a question remains: will they eventually sell out and do similar privacy-controversial decisions as LinkedIn? Will everyone have to move again? I'm sure 3 years ago LinkedIn would deny that they would do anything like their recent move, but here we are. People keep moving from a service to another, hoping that it will be better, but what's to stop the new service from doing the same tricks once it gets big enough?

Comma before "but" too, please.

You could also tone down the deliberate cuteness. "Hmm what? Oh noes, looks like..." six nothing words before getting to the point: 404. It's wasted space, tediously hip and cloying. I hazard to say most of us older than 12 aren't amused.

I actually find that when a website takes the time to create a personal and interesting 404 page, it signals the fact that they really care about user experiencer. 404 pages can be some of the most jarring things for a user and the fact that they shared some personality and helped the user get back on track says to me that the team is focused on the right things.
