Twitter users rejoice.
Kosui Iwasa (@KILLEDBYNLP), a first-year graduate student at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, created a Chrome extension that will make Twitter browsing on your PC more entertaining!
It's remarkable that nobody came up with this idea before. All you need to do is visit the Google webstore here and click on the install button and voila! You've installed the Twitter Icon Rotator!

His tweet below already has over 10,600 likes and 12,500 retweets at the time of writing, and was picked up by NetLab:
---"I released a Google Chrome extension that makes all your Twitter icons spin!"
When you install the extension, you'll be able to bring up a menu that allows you to alternate between 5 speeds. When you're ready to turn it off, change the speed to 0.
You can check the source code for the extension on GitHub here.
Although he is pleased by the sudden popularity of his Chrome extension, Mr. Iwasa seems to have some reservations about his recent fame:
---"To be honest, there's something a bit hard to swallow about the fact that neither the research I did for my department nor the web services I designed became popular whereas an extension I made in three hours did..."
We hope Mr. Iwasa won't remain dejected for long. The ability to find untapped opportunities and create excitement in people's lives is a talent that will surely serve him well in the future.
