YouTube GIF Creator - Turn any video into a GIF directly inside YouTube

The question is: Did YouTube already have this on their roadmap or did they get the idea from gifYouTube: http://www.producthunt.com/posts...?

For those as confused as me for landing on the normal youtube homepage. It's currently not enabled for every video as explained in the TC article. It works for this one here Click on the share -> Gif button and you should be able to do it. It works. Trust me.

GifYouTube here. Good Job by YT ^_^. Still a LOT to be done with the GIF sphere, and we're tackling a lot of interesting problems now. May be interesting to work with YouTube on this too. Edit: Meant to be a response to @thomasmeagher

can we get some thoughts from youtube friends ? cc @natedesmond

Oh no.. today is the day the internet will explode

Oh boy, this is going to make a few laughs. Time to really know if there can be 'too many' memes.

This is pretty amazing. GIFs are by far the most portable "video" format at the moment. I'm glad to see Youtube isn't following in IMGUR and Giphy's footsteps of sharing flash based videos of GIFs.

Awww, yissss http://www.youtube.com/gif?v=Est...

I cannot wait until this is enabled for my videos!
