GIF's Galore

• Animated GIF's have been around since the early days of the internet, and they've always been kind of low-rent. But the recent emergence of cinemagraphs by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg have breathed new life into an old technology.

I follow several fashion blogs as part of my daily internet perusing. One of the stories that caught my eye recently is Burberry's intent to debut their catwalk collection via animated GIF's on Twitter.

I'm interested to see exactly how Burberry handles their catwalk debut. So far it's been just straight photos, no animated GIF's, but they do as good of a job as anyone in pushing out content via YouTube and Twitter.

I've always thought Animated GIF's were cool. Glad to see that others are catching on.

I'd love to do something like this that's sports related. Stay tuned for any research on that.
