- minimaxir 11y agoMillennials. That is not a snarky response.
- atom-morgan 11y agoI'd add startups as well. At a previous company Slack was basically for sending GIFs all day long.
- minimaxir 11y agoModern startups are typically run by Millennials, so same difference. :p
- epimetheus 11y agoFacebook has had this for awhile (for chats, at least on web). I rather enjoy it and not really a Millennial, I was born in 77. I really prefer gifs to all these goofy icons and odd emoji (still use thumbs up etc, just not the poop and other odd ones). I use Line App for chat with a group for a game I play, and they all love those stickers and emojis. Most of the time I don't even register what it is, and move on - gifs are a bit more eye catching and usually more poignant.
- ryanSrich 11y agoI really wonder how they do financial projections for features like this. How do you even model that? Is it based on retention rates for adding the feature? Certainly users aren't saying "Well twitter has a GIF search now so I can finally join". It just all seems made up. A massive house of cards.
