Three little letters have changed communication as we know it — G-I-F. The animated digital art form (as you may call it) of Graphics Interchange Format allows for so much more expression than words or emojis. Its creative possibilities are endless and is able to relate abstract thoughts an ideas into relatable visuals. In just a few seconds of looped graphics or clip of a cult hit TV show or movie, everything is understood.
And because communication can be such a challenge at work — and more so, because we all just want to laugh more — Taskworld has released GIFs in its chat and comments features.
In honor of this new feature, following are some “Did you knows?, ” how to use GIFs in Taskworld, and our favorite GIFs of workplace funnies and fails to share with your colleagues or peruse while procrastinating.
