I perversely enjoy big CMS failures. Here’s a blog post from 15 years ago when I found one on USA Today (also note: I was basically describing BuiltWith in that blog post – I should have done something with the idea…)

Well, Apple just had a significant CMS failure. Their CMS pre-published the URLs of multiple pages revealing the new iPhone models before the announcement, and – like it always is when you make a mistake – people were watching.

All Things How has a good summary, complete with screencaps.

Every day, between 7,000 and 10,000 unique visitors come to this website. I don't keep analytics, so I have no idea why you're here. Maybe get in touch with me and tell me why you visited today?
