Animated GIF Twitter Avatar

I’ve had success with making an animated gif show up as an avatar on Twitter in the past… but not 100% sure if it works any more. In the past, the secret seemed to be to make the image about 200 x 200 pixels. Probably also helps to keep the file size as low as possible.

I think Twitter may have disabled animated gifs by now, but… people that got theirs in around Christmas still seem active. If you’ve got some time to kill, you might give it a try. Here’s a tutorial by @TiffanyDow.
