Myspace, Facebook and Orkut server error, who’s the winner ?

If you use Orkut which is a social networking website by Google then you must be aware of those funny errors which says

" Bad, bad server. No donut for you. Unfortunately, the orkut.com server has acted out in an unexpected way. Hopefully, it will return to its helpful self if you try again in a few minutes. It’s likely that the server will behave this way on occasion during the coming months. We apologize for the inconvenience and for our server’s lack of consideration for others."

These days it seems Facebook is also having such a heavy traffic. The error message which they display is just two lines of simple text without any "fun factor". which says "Sorry, an error has occurred.We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."

MySpace which is a huge hit in United States also encounters such errors when traffic is at peak which says – "Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred. This error has been forwarded to MySpace’s technical group"

    Facebook is really the best, I feel. This is an intersting article, though I have seen such server failures, I did not notice them :)
