I wish we could move away from the awful format that is animated gif and use something much better in terms of compression, color support and frame rate. Like webm.[1][2]

At least we have http://gfycat.com/ now. WebM for those who can, original gif for those who can't.
I personally think http://mediacru.sh is a better choice. Free and open source. I'm not sure if it display a .gif if the user doesn't have HTML5 video compatibility.
