Facebook, Tumblr and Google +'s buggiest pages are works of Social art

Anybody found a page called 'Glitchr' on their respective social networks, as mentioned in the title?  Turns out that they were created as an art project by Lithuanian, Laimonas Zakas.

The Facebook page, thus far has over 14,000 likes since the story went viral through multiple tech blogs, and is a primary focus due to it being the largest social network of all.  The completely harmless page takes your chat navigation bar and spreads it down your screen in an almost wave-like style.  Kind of like when your computer freezes and your open window sporadically multiplies as you drag it across the screen.  

Whether you consider it as art or not: a) it certainly has an effect and b) it takes a long time to load!
