To get these animated images into its system, Twitter could partner with consumer and entertainment brands. They it can just let the entirety of Twitter handle its advertising. Instead Fox create a GIF with its branding ahead of time and have it ready to share at the exact second a particularly GIFable moment airs. As it currently stands, a GIF like this would be created after the show aired, by someone in the audience, from a recording. It was a turning point in the episode, and if it had been available within the Twitter app, it would have been tweeted out almost immediately. During last week's hilarious X-Files episode, for instance, it could have surfaced the following image: Now Twitter has the opportunity to partner with networks to offer up nearly real-time GIFs of these events to add to the conversation. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu. For the upcoming Super Bowl, the social network is going all out to remind users that it's the destination for real-time information. Twitter is in the moment Facebook is "Hey, did you see that thing that happened a few hours ago?" Twitter knows this and plays up its part of the right-now aspect of its service. Sporting events, awards shows, premieres or even episodes of Game of Thrones see more juice on Twitter than they ever would on Facebook. Whenever there's a TV event, you don't go to Facebook to see how people are reacting you head to Twitter. In the end, the ultimate second-screen application was Twitter. If the company pulls this off, it'll appease the will of animated-image aficionados, gain some new users and (gasp) give the not quite profitable company another source of revenue.Ī few years ago, developers and brands tried to convince us that "second-screen" apps were the ideal way to follow along with our favorite TV shows. It's what the people want, which is good, because Twitter is desperately trying to create a service that more people want. Introducing a native way to search and add GIFs to tweets seems like a no-brainer.
