Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) wasn't just the toast of Twitter during his Friday floor monologue against President Obama's tax deal with the GOP, but also inspired a website that sprung up in his honor.

Somewhere around the seventh hour of the 8.5 hour #filibernie, Sanders tweeted a link to the site IsBernieSandersStillTalking.com.

On Saturday morning, the white screen of the site read in big black letters, "No, but he's still awesome!"

Below that was a link to donate to Act Blue, a PAC that fundraises for liberal candidates and causes. "Senator Sanders has taken over the Senate to stand up for us. Show Bernie you stand up for him by throwing him a couple of bucks!" the page reads. As of Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Eastern time, $6,022 had been raised off the Filibernie.

To end his Friday speech, Sanders tweeted, "And with that, Madam President, I would yield the floor." 

That was followed with: "If you missed the beginning of Sen. Bernie Sanders speech, you can watch it here: http://bit.ly/dXTxWC"

According to Sanders's office, the Senate TV server was temporarily shut down because of the overwhelming number of people trying to watch.
