Giffy: Visio in the cloud

If you think of Giffy as Visio delivered as a web based app you’d be about right, just like Google Docs. Google, if you’ve got a spare few million bucks (and we all know you do), will you just buy Giffy? And then integrate it into Google Docs. This stuff is way too good to waste behind a paid-for monetisation strategy.

Like, it’s so good you don’t want to buy it?

Me paying for online apps seems about as likely as a teenager paying for music. Google have introduced a load of great online applications and I don’t have to pay a penny for them. Giffy would sit next to google’s other apps very well.

I was just trying to give you a hard time. And yes, Google could do this, and with their mad ajax skills, it would be another killer app, but I’m afraid that most people probably wouldn’t know what to do with it.
