Beastly good! The new avatars of the weblin community

weblin has been inspired by the enthusiasm surrounding the little polar bear Knut. The large number of animated avatars available at weblin has therefore been enhanced with animal characters: brand new motives of four-legged friends are now available. Roam the Web as dog or show yourself as a purring cat to the other weblin users. With funny animations such as wagging their tails, giving a paw or cleaning their coats, the cuddly animals liven up the Internet.

To make sure that you do not miss out on the many new avatars from the animal world, it is worth your while to regularly visit the weblin home page. (more…)
