Hey so I <3 giphy just like many other folks here. But I hate it when I need to pull out of a conversation to look for a GIF, then download it and upload it to reply on Twitter. Who wants to do that. So I made slashgif. Simply reply to a tweet with your search query ("@slashgif happy birthday") and the bot will reply almost instantly with a fun GIF. Example: https://twitter.com/slashgif/sta... + It's open source: https://github.com/karan/slashgif

Does this work for Tweetdeck? Update: Yes
Alex Micu
This is great and it's very quick. For now :) What would be the easiest way to re-use the gif in another conversation?
★ Karan Goel ☂
@axelk You should need to download the gif unfortunately. Or you could just do the same search and often get the same result back.
Alex Micu
@karangoel You could just include the user's name in the conversation with Slashgif right?
★ Karan Goel ☂
@axelk You could yes. It will quote all mentioned users with the gif
Alex Micu
@karangoel Can I have another suggestion? When it tweets back could it also include the search term? I keep seeing it in my timeline but with no reference.
★ Karan Goel ☂
@axelk Yup. That's a pending feature request. I'll add it soon.

Very nice! How did you get around Twitter's rate limit? I'd imagine it would be getting a lot of traffic.
