Tumblr Embraces the GIF
Since their inception, blogs have given users the ability to communicate their feelings and opinions on virtually any topic under the sun.
Looking for new ways to keep their bloggers coming back, Tumblr, the popular social networking site, has recently made two announcements regarding GIFs on their site.
The first announcement from Tumblr introduced a new way for users to find GIFs to incorporate in their posts. Through the new GIF search feature, users simply click the “+” button followed by the “GIF” button to search through Tumblr’s library of GIFs. Once users select a GIF, the GIFs original poster will notified that another users has reposted their content.
