    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

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