@andreasklinger That's awesome!

We also have a chrome extension that replaces your boring new tab page with a random super sized gif. Say goodbye to your productivity. https://chrome.google.com/websto...

Hello from one of the makers! We're pretty much going for Pinterest-style GIF collection and organization here! Check out our Chrome extension which allows for adding GIFs directly to your Serious profile, from anywhere you find them: https://chrome.google.com/websto...

Just lost 15 minutes to this site. Ugh.

@thetylerhayes We're doing our job then :)

@dando212 Except I did nothing social on the site.

Some feedback from a GIF obsessed person who shares a new one every day w my newsletter (http://musicgeeks.co). I think 'social netwirk' is the wrong angle entirely. Because 'pinterest for gifs' is something I very much need and want and would enjoy, but I don't need want or think I'd enjoy a social network based on gifs. The difference is subtle but I wrote this off earlier until I read your comment. Giphy is a lifesaver but a better way to curate gifs would be superb!

@dshan We actually don't consider ourselves a social network really (I did not make this post - would've called it "Pinterest for GIFs" as I stated in my comment above). We started Serious as a way to basically cleanly collect GIFs. The "social" features exist as basically a way for you to discover new GIFs from others on the site: sometimes, a comment or collection, or tag that someone else puts on an existing GIF gives it a totally new meaning, so the stream allows you to see that new interpretation as it's made. Hope that makes sense :)

We've just added a new Beta feature, allowing you to create GIFs directly from your webcam (desktop and mobile). It's available for Chrome only right now. Check it out: https://serious.io/create If that link bounces you to the home screen, chances are your browser isn't supported, or you don't have an accessible camera. You need to be logged in for this to work too.

@dshan - Love your music + GIF concept :)
