Sure, but they don't even do the gif search all that well. I tend to go just about anywhere else to hunt for gifs. When I go to giphy, my computer slows to a crawl and the fan starts blasting on high as a result of the webpage trying to immediately load way. too. many. animated gifs all at once. And I wouldn't even dream of going there when I'm using my cell phone's data plan; a single page load would probably chew through a couple bucks' worth of my monthly allotment. Other sites (Google image search, for example) let me look at a single frame static preview, and only look at the animated versions of the gifs that look promising. That works quite a bit better for me. It's even faster, since it's hard to browse anything when your browser's become unresponsive. They may have captured the hearts of some segments of the market, but things like that leave me thinking they've got a long way to go before wider appeal is a realistic possibility. Meanwhile, challengers are sprouting like mushrooms.
