OTTO — A GIF Camera!

I think I know what I'm getting @rrhoover for his birthday.

You know me too well, @GeoffreyWeg. :)

I love Giphy (cc @namslam, @adamcl) and if you have an hour to kill, check out some of the awesome GIF product hunts (search results for GIF). One of my personal favorites: Gifgasm cc @starfoxmusic

Or for the @giphy team -- nice

Their kickstarter is so well done.

wow otto is really awesome

I want to get excited about this but I can't shake the feeling that my phone could do it better, without added hardware. Anyone else?

@clarklab I see you point, but it's possible that, counterintuitively, tech hardware will start to get more and more divergent, where products spin off into their own little ecosystems. This enables the consumer to "offline" the purchase in their mind, into a modular mental drawer. For more on this subject check out the book "the origin of brands" http://www.amazon.com/The-Origin...

@clarklab There's a conversation to be had about how context specific hardware can decrease the user's cognitive load and how it can improve overall experience. Donald Norman's book "Emotional Design" does a nice job with the idea. But really, we think making gifs with OTTO is just more fun :) @nickgrosvenor Agreed the counter intuitive part is that for years we've been telling ourselves that people WANT convergence, but the reality of the situation is much more subtle. Convergence is awesome for some things, but horrible for others.

Oh btw, @GeoffreyWeg. My birthday is January 9th. KTHX!

Noted, @rrhoover. You got a while to go.

This product is ridiculous and has no practical use. That said, I will take 2 please.

Great product. Works pretty well.
