Get Your GIF on with Flixel!

Good morning folks and here's a double shot of Tech Thursday on Jabber Log! It'll be a quick one so bare with me. Do you remember all the animated GIF files from back in the day? Do you even know what I'm talking about? Well if not, think about the old construction images where the little guy is digging up dirt. The image was mainly used to show that a website was still being built. Others involved still images in a loop, and others, well...they were just plain annoying. It made for a very bad website and they were usually cluttered all over the place in early web design. I'm sure you're thinking,

"So if the animated GIF was so bad then why the hell are you talking about it here?"

Well, the GIF has slowly made a comeback and now there is an iPhone app called Flixel that can help you create your own GIF's. The app allows you to make some pretty cool ones too. Think of Instagram but animated. It's a free app from the App Store and very easy to use. It comes with different filters, a way to share with the Flixel community and it's social friendly. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and others can be used for sharing with friends and family. So if you find yourself scanning the App Store for something new, make sure to give Flixel a try. I have been using it since early this morning and I'm not only addicted to it but seeing the pictures of others is awesome!
