The GIF backstory
The Graphics Interchange Format was a technological solution developed by Stephen Wilhite.
- In the 1980s, Wilhite was the lead engineer on a team at CompuServe tasked with finding a way to quickly distribute “high-quality, high-resolution graphics” in color.
- Developing this became an obsession for Wilhite, who would perfect the product at home.
- The result, GIF, was released in 1987, but its commercial success is due in large part to Netscape, which, in 1995 added the ability for GIFs to loop.

GIF vs. JIF
- With the rise of GIFs came a historic internet debate: whether it’s pronounced “gif” (with a hard G, like “gift”) or “jif.”
- In 2012, Oxford American Dictionaries named “GIF” its US Word of the Year, accepting both pronunciations.
- In 2013, Stephen Wilhite old The New York Times, “It’s a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.
- It was a baller move, but despite his clarification, the debate seemingly continues to this day.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
