The fail whale may be going the way of the Dodo if you don’t retweat the message below.

The fancy pants engineers over at Twitter are “revamping their system to scale”. This cynical move toward business efficiency puts the fail whale species at risk of mass extinction. When Twitter was asked to comment on this, they had nothing to say for themselves. Nothing!

I don’t ever want to have to utter the words ‘Fail Whale… RIP #fwh’. So please help me speak up for the whale — right now.

Please retweat this message and help save the cute FAIL whale!

Aww, no more cute whales?? Don’t FAIL us Twitter. Save the Fail Whales! http://SavetheFailWhales.org #STFW

(you can use whatever wording you want, just please include “#sftw” in your post — thanks!)
