Sheeeit. We've had animated gifs on TheAtlantic.com HOMEPAGE since like 2011.

Well... ain't that a thing!

But, seriously, someone is going to write a thesis on gifs one day. It is "literally" an innovation in communications. While we currently associate gifs with memes, etc, you can see quite a few very creative ones on ffffound.com, for example. And,as you say, TheAtlantic now uses them.
