I was trying to visit Twitter’s website, but it was down for a planned maintenance. Here is the screenshot of it’s landing page. Very creative and funny too! It definitely made me smile. It definitely helped me not to get frustrated with their down time. Very clever.

But once I found Twitter is down, I decided to use Hootsuite for updating my Twitter status. As a co-incidence, it was also down at the same time. Here is the screenshot of their landing page. I found this is cleverer than Twitter’s. This is not only creative, but informative too. It definitely made me a little smarter than a moment ago. So who would bother about down-time, if you provide this kind of user-experience? Very very creative.

I think these are very clever design decisions to note down when I need to implement scheduled maintenance pages for my websites!
