Any guesses as to the name of the unnamed "wildly popular web site"? :)

  Twitter. They also do these tests regularly to make sure we still need existing features.

    Twitter 404s for a whole other set of reasons. But this site isn't Twitter, because it has been acquired: > ... and it was acquired not so long ago for a figure with 9 digits

      It was a joke.

    Ah, but they use 503, not 404.

  Could be powerset. Three clues: 1. Recently acquired by MS for a rumored 100M. 2. CEO is talking about 404 pages. Powerset's CEO is indeed a tech guy, Barney Pell. 3. "Thousands" of visitors per day sounds about right for powerset.

  I'm pretty sure I know it. It's not Twitter or Powerset.
