Twitter Brings Keyword Research To DM’s | 3D Ads For Metaverse

Loves to write, loves to research, and loves the performance of all things social & blog strategy.

You know how we all love GIFs? They aren’t just fun to watch – they’re actually great for your business. They’re more interesting and relatable than static images and are an all-around great way to stand out. More importantly: customers/clients love them. 

This month, Steve Wilhite, the beloved computer scientist and inventor of the GIF passed away. As written in his obituary, “anyone trying to save or copy an image on a computer has Stephen Wilhite to thank for the technology that makes it possible.” We couldn’t agree more. 

But while we can all argue over the semantics of how to pronounce the word “GIF,” let’s just remember: the Oxford Dictionary isn’t always right. 😉
