“Release the Fail Whale” Animates Twitter’s Fail Whale

Alright Twitter, I have a bone to pick with you. If your Twitter service is going to go down every two days, I don’t just want to see a Fail Whale: I want to see an animated Fail Whale! So leave it to a Safari Extension called Release the Fail Whale to make my silly dreams come true. Delivering the Fail Whale in high-def CSS3, never before has such fail warmed my Twitter heart.

Check out Release the Fail Whale on Rawksome’s excellent page and test bench.
