Going on my resume.

 

Article asks "Has the janky, crowdsourced era of GIFs just come to an end?" yet the entire Simpsons operation was crowdsourced. Little do they know...


Also, Giphy is probably worth near about half a billion dollars now. Incredible.

Giphy Says It's Worth $300 Million Because It's a Real-Time Media Platform

with that kinda cash they need their own platform so we can skip the stupid PRE's on the two cent batches. Bump the character names up to .07 or .08, emotions up to .10 or .12.

a turker can dream

 

Ya. In a dream world that would work but with more money comes more pressure to cut costs. Speaking of, don't they only/usually use masters?

 

Holy shit, Giphy is worth that much? That's incredible for such a simple concept.

 

yep. Sure they'd still get demolished at a penny for non-m's. Anyone remember when the PRE's started happening? I remember all last summer could multi-tab the two centers and never had a problem.

 

Holy shit, I'm doing the daily sleep study for Goal Lab. They send a daily reminder email that the day's survey is up. Today I got over 700 reminder emails from them.

 

Johri posted 10k more right after I left? damn I could be maxed already easily

 

If you read that Backchannel article, you'll see that there were/are many constraints to a quality gif search engine. They are valuated at $300mm based upon closing a funding round. They are currently revenue neutral so it's a paper valuation. Interesting potential avenues for generating revenue though. Much better potential to me, then say, with Twitter.

 

Good morning everyone. I've napped a bit and I'm ready to make some more money. How have the last few hours been?

 

never done giphy HITs, are they qualed?

 

Still working on that neverending 5 batch

 

Morning Jamie.

 

what were teh johri hits? what did they involve and how much did they pay?

 

Not qualed, but I forget if they are Masters or not.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was sleeping like a bum.

 

They paid 5 cents each and involved determining whether an article was about a topic.

 

Masters.

 

Good morning Hajime
