GIF Images Get Easy Button Thanks to Google
April 3, 2013
Is there anything Google isn’t affiliated with these days? I didn’t think so. Wired reports in its article on “Google Image Search: Now With More GIF Action” that information powerhouse is now turning its sights on graphics interchange format(GIF).
“On Tuesday, Google announced via Google+ that Image Search now has an “Animated” filter. That means that if you’re only searching for animated magic, you need never be bothered with a still image again. Finally that search for Jennifer Lawrence GIFs from the Academy Awards just got a whole lot easier.”
GIF’s have been around since 1987 and have become the go to for short animations on the Web . The feature is still being worked out but for now when you search an image in Google Images, you can select the drop down menu in the Search Tools category and simply click on animations.
It doesn’t seem like a significant change to the Google lineup but it does have a consumer first approach to the addition. If Google is the only place you can filter your content to find the exact information you want, well, Google then becomes the go-to.
