Best known as a website that lets you make silly holiday videos by turning you and your friends into caricatures in dancing cartoon music videos, Jibjab now has a gif messenger app. The gif maker lets you put someone's face into a short looped video resulting in hilarity for everyone involved. Jibjab Messages basically enables users to star in their own internet meme, or turn their friends into one.
You can share the files you create using the gif messenger on Facebook, Twitter, email and text message (including iMessage on iPhones). Currently the app is only downloadable for Apple, with no Android version yet. To use, pick an existing gif you want to insert a face into. You can add text or photographic filters if you wish before saving on your phone or sharing with others.
