A lot, most animated gifs are annoying, and some of us curse the day that was invented. But I just found a NEAT example of how it can be used nicely.
Telegram just released a new version, and it has the new feature of preparing a message but not sending immediately -- but setting a later time for it to go.
Well done, Telegram. I have used it briefly and was quite impressed with the fluidity of the app, the UI design, how well it performed.
If you have contacts already using it, or willing to switch -- a much better instant messenger than WhatsApp, or God forbid, the ghastly FB Messenger junk. (that I absolutely REFUSE to even consider).
