Hootsuite’s Fail Owl

Hootsuite is everyone’s social media management platform – allowing mere mortals to manage complex social media campaigns across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like. And Owly, its wide-eyed mascot, has become synonymous with the service. But, like any Web-based service, sometimes Hootsuite just can’t find the page you’re looking for. To make the best of a bad situation, the site features a praise-worthy “404 Fowl Not Found” page that depicts Owly on the back of a carton of milk.
