A social media conversation by
two or more parties consisting of .
gif files related to the subject at
hand.
The boss announces the office
will close one hour early Friday so everyone can go home an hour early. Mike immediately sends an interoffice message, a .
gif file, of a man running so fast to leave he doesn't even bother to open the
door...he just crashes through it. (Expressing his enthusiasm over the announcement) Then Matt sends a .
gif of someone holding a big bunch of helium filled balloons floating away. (Signifying his means of "escape") Dave replies with his own .gif of a
guy dancing without inhibition with an obvious expression of enjoyment on his
face. (Expressing Dave's intention to get the party started early) Others in the office follow suit. A GIFSTORM is happening.
