GIF support finally arrives on Twitter for Android, iOS, and the web

No matter how you want to pronounce it (it’s s hard “G,” by the way), I think we can all agree that GIFs general make our social networks a little more fun. We’re not sure what took so long, but in a back-end update to Twitter on both the web and its mobile apps, the microblogging network now officially supports GIFs.

Starting today, you can share and view animated GIFs on http://t.co/wJD8Fp317i, Android and iPhone. http://t.co/XBrAbOm4Ya — Twitter Support (@Support) June 18, 2014

This means you can upload these moving pictures using the native Twitter client and watch as they animate in the app. To be clear, GIFs wont load while in the timeline view (in an effort to not eat up all your data), only when clicking on a tweet to view it’s media will you be presented with the moving GIF. And move, they shall.

Nike+ Fuelband app finally available for Android

Nike has finally given tons of FuelBand owners what they’ve been waiting more than two years for: a companion app for Android. The app was exclusive to iOS up to this point, something which we thought was thanks to Nike and Apple’s tight relationship. But it seems Nike has finally stopped making excuses as the official FuelBand app is sitting in the Google Play Store. Unfortunately you will need the latest FuelBand SE fitness band in order to use it, and it does appear you’ll need at least Android 4.3 or higher. The app is also only “optimized” for the following devices:

• - Samsung Galaxy S5


• - Samsung Galaxy S4


• - Samsung Galaxy S3


• - Nexus 5


• - HTC One


• -Moto X

Short roster, that. So while it’s what we’ve been waiting for, it’s not quite in the capacity that we expected. Let’s hope Nike eventually loosens these restrictions and requirements in the weeks or months to come. Should you be lucky enough to satiate all those needs then you can find the app for download at the link ahead.
