    Fail Whale Wars!


    Given the regular appearance of the Fail Whale (above) and frustrations of many Twitter users, I was inclined to vent on the blog...
    Which led me to think of the phrase "Fail Whale Wars" ...
    Which led me to do some research on the group behind the controversial Animal Planet show, Whale Wars, and the group behind the action - The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

    Therefore, SSCS is our new #FollowOfTheWeek.

    Thus, my Twitter frustration ("twustration?" ...I mean, everything can be turned into a Twitter word, right?) reinvents itself as something positive, right?

    Why Follow? SSCS is a controversial organization in that they use "direct-action tactics," which some few as crossing the line. That being said, regardless of how you feel about their tactics, they have done well in marketing the organization. Some screen shots to illustrate the campaigns...
