Looking for a Gif or a Sticker? Here’s the Site for You!
Looking for a gif? Gifs and stickers are all the rage. If you own a smartphone or tablet you probably already know this. And even old stodgy Microsoft is getting into the stickers game soon as they’re adding “stickers” capability to Windows 11.
While most smartphones come with plenty of gifs and stickers you can add to text messages, most Windows users don’t have access to many gifs and stickers to add “spice” to their emails or social media posts.
That’s too bad (isn’t it?). I mean adding spice to your posts and emails is a fun way to grab attention and even make a point.
So what’s the difference between a gif and a sticker? Well, stickers are usually more socially poignant and express a point of view, while Gifs are usually more for fun. Maybe you’ll disagree.
The image to the left is a sticker and it’s expressing an opinion telling the reader to spread love not hate. And what is wrong with that. There’s certainly too much hate in this world.
Our site pick today is GIPHY. It’s a fun site where you can find stickers and gifs and share them with your friends. And it’s free but Giphy asks that you credit the people who create the gifs and stickers. And now a word from the folks who run GIPHY.
