So. Who was first. 4chan or twitter?

How long has twitter been doing this? Just out of curiousity.

(Yes I know 4chan doesn't convert but there was some talk that 4chan might be a major player in pushing webm forward. Is it even webm or x264? On mobile. Can't check right now.)

gfycat.com and others have been doing this for a while.
4chan pushed webm before twitter.

gifcat (or gyfcat idk) was before 4chan. github beat gifcat. Basically twitter is doing what gifcat does, which has been doing it for a few years.
