Anyone know how to embed GIFs and images in PH? That's definitely an Easter egg @rrhoover and team snuck into the site (0;

@Chikodi haha, we're adding UI to make this more obvious but you can simply paste a direct URL to an image to embed. Enjoy. :)
For those as confused as me for landing on the normal youtube homepage.
It's currently not enabled for every video as explained in the TC article. It works for this one here
Click on the share -> Gif button and you should be able to do it. It works. Trust me.
This is pretty amazing. GIFs are by far the most portable "video" format at the moment. I'm glad to see Youtube isn't following in IMGUR and Giphy's footsteps of sharing flash based videos of GIFs.
The question is: Did YouTube already have this on their roadmap or did they get the idea from gifYouTube: http://www.producthunt.com/posts...?
@thomasmeagher The easiest answer is nearly everything was on a roadmap that nobody had time for until a smart upstart showed how powerful it could be.
GifYouTube here. Good Job by YT ^_^. Still a LOT to be done with the GIF sphere, and we're tackling a lot of interesting problems now. May be interesting to work with YouTube on this too.
Edit: Meant to be a response to @thomasmeagher
This is really going to make it harder to search for the right image, now that everything will be named gif.gif
Oh boy, this is going to make a few laughs. Time to really know if there can be 'too many' memes.
