@evanczhou Ahaha thank you Evan :).
Hmm - def in the future we'll have upload your own photo, but as an interim we can change the default photo for that site for you?
Hey there! This is a great opportunity to all the people that use gifs everyday, it will definitely increase traffic to the video. Just one question, how do you make it compatible for every site? For example, I know Tumblr used to have a limit of 1MB size on gifs, otherwise it wouldn't load - that's why they sometimes are sets of small gifs with normal quality... how are you going to make that on your site? Are there limits and restrinctions to every site? Does the quality depends on the site is being uploaded? Thanks in advance for your answer!
@rutgerteunissen Hi Rutger! Thanks so much for your question.
For tumblr we have a tumblr share button on gifs.com that shares our embed code for the player on tumblr, so rather than being a bulky low quality gif, it's a beautiful high quality gif in the gifs player that links back to the source video and perhaps more. For twitter we have twitter cards.
For sites that want to use the player, they use our embed code :). As long as they get the player our with the embed, the quality is amazing throughout.
Hi Rory, I'd love to be able to covert a youtube video to GIF in slow motion. This would be very helpful for creating funny slow motion reactions or very useful to document dance moves or other hard-to-do things that can be better visualized in slow motion. Are you guys thinking about adding this functionality anytime soon?
@sashaeversnap Hi Sasha! We agree - it'd be amazing. We're actually working on a bunch of neat filters (just like slowmo) at the moment! When we add slow mo will tweet at you, if that's okay?
@rorybro That would be amazing bro! What's the timeframe for that? just to keep an eye out for it.
@rorybro - great to see the progress of gifyoutube into gifs.com. love the player and the vision to make GIFs into a formal media unit, which brings awesomeness to publishers and content owners. question: how do you handle SEO for the items on gifs.com ? can you share some insights on relevancy of google search traffic?
@urilevanon Uri! Thanks so much for your comment. Right now, our SEO game is absolutely abysmal :O
@rorybro thanks for the swift reply. indeed saw the urls don't include any context, and was wondering if you're doing any other SEO optimization. could do wonders for publishers.
That's a great idea! Gifs are becoming more and more popular, linking back to a video is very smart, well done ;)
@iangelidaki Thank you ioanna! We think one day every gif will be in the player :)
