GIFs are awesome, aren’t they? They often make content on sites like Tumblr much more entertaining. And now that we can also share them on Twitter and Pinterest, there is nor reason not to use them!
But there is a couple of things that are not very cool about GIFs:
- When you love a GIF, it is really hard to find where it came from
- It is rather difficult to make your own
Well GIFYouTube, a new (awesome) web app, is coming to solve both of these.
