‘Twitter Has Been Too Slow To Catch Up With The Visual Web’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Twitter Has Been Too Slow To Catch Up With The Visual Web”.
Lauren Orsini says, “Eight years after the invention of Twitter, animated GIFs have finally come to the network. That’s way too slow, and it tells us a lot about the speed with which Twitter is adapting to the way people use the Web these days.
Animated GIFs, image formats which display a looping video clip, have been around since the days of Usenet and America Online. For nearly a decade they fell out of fashion, until their slightly kitschy nostalgia brought them back to prominence. Quick to load and easy for anybody to create, they’ve slowly repopulated the Internet”.
