I'm so glad PH likes this! We think it's a big step forward for content creation and self expression on the Internet. So stoked to see what people do with it.

This is very similar to @rorybro's gifYouTube and Google's also experimenting with this functionality on YouTube itself. Here's a lovely GIF of @kylebrussell dancing that I just made (unfortunately we don't support embedding of .gifv file formats on PH yet)
EDIT: Giphy just announced their $17M round. Timely. Here's @ajs' coverage of the news.

+1 to @rrhoover comment - great to see more tools arise. Funny to think many of us have seen or shared hundreds if not thousands of GIFs in browsing the web but chances are we've created little to none.
Mentioned this here https://twitter.com/ryandawidjan... but seems to me this cements Imgur's plan to continue to try and be a destination site / community … See more
