On: Introducing GIF search on Twitter

[Keats]

If only the gif search worked. 75% of the time when I do a giphy search on slack i get completely unrelated gifs.

It's all about the tags. You have to work in the other direction. Find something well-tagged, then giphy the fully qualified tag that produces the same gif every time.

Granted, this is not a "search engine" type of use case, but the actual existence of some gifs, and the tags applied, force a degree of compromise.

That we're still at manual tagging says a lot about current state classificators despite all the press they generate

I am not the one that got $50M in funding though, I just want to use their one line integration on slack. That's up to them to make it not work, not me.

You nailed it. See my comment from yesterday, it's the same for me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11113644

Same here, useless 90% of the time.
