It isn't. People just realized again how awful outdated GIFs are and that we need a new standard asap. Of course it probably won't happen over the next few years...I don't understand how this revolutionaryIt just seems like an easily embedded video file..? We've had those before.

Says it in the first line of the OP. Not sure how you can possibly miss it.

so many 404s
Iirc android has a larger market share now. Apple is losing its hold
That's not actually true. As expected Android has passed Apple with phones and even tablets now (I think).
Someone make a webm version of
so I can use it.
web-m? wif?
http://zippy.gfycat.com/DentalCreepyIridescentshark.webm
Edit:
Not sure if it's bigger for anyone else, but mine is way bigger than I intended, not sure why. When I right click > View Video it goes to the proper resolution.
What I'm thinking of doing is actually going through my entire library of gifs on Imgur and creating webm versions on gfycat.com, and see how that fares for me. The webm above was done using that conversion process, and your conversions are saved in your account on Gfycat. Might make that site an alt for gif storage. :3

I just need the ability to edit these extensions to my liking on Chrome like I can do on FF.

This is my attempt at a .webm with Metal Gear Rising, excuse my sucking as I haven't played in forever and my newest save file is on hard.
Lovely format though this should crush the .gif so long as we get a proper chrome extension. I captured this using shadow play, together the combination will be deadly.

Alright, got it to work. This is the future. Damn.
Neogaf better swiftly adopt this and make it auto embed without extensions. I'd be disappointed if we're still stuck with gifs come E3.

So we can all agree on how this is pronounced now to avoid 20 years of arguments about hard "M"s
It won't display embeded on the default browser on my android tablet. It wants me to download it and open it in a different application (which gives me an error saying it's not a supported format). My Windows Phone 8 device doesn't display it either I think.

there's no reason we can't have both, gifs can link to webm.

There is a reason, this is 1000 times better I don't want to have to open a link to every .gif to reach the better format
Nah, just becomes the new .Peanutbutterbrand wars
(Web-Emm/Web'um or so, rolls of the tongue to me.)
Yeah, for now, I'm using MX Player to open it up on my phone.

Hey guys
Do you pronounce webm as "web-em" or "webbum"?

I, I'm honestly out of the loop here. What kind of format is this? I tried it out in Google Chrome with the extension and these things look BEAUTIFUL. But how exactly do I get the ones with sound to work? This is the first time I've heard of such a format.
Like, this came out of nowhere and I'm kind of confused by all this.

You can actually open the links in Safari and play it with the VLC app(at least that's what I'm doing) to play them. Not a perfect workaround, but its better than nothing.

Sorry, but when used as Gifs, they're wifs. The people have spoken.

Opera seems to be playing these without any extra help.
My iPad can play them too but only when opening the links externally with OPlayer.

Those of you with android devices, try downloading MX Player and the MX Player codec(most likely armv7 Neon). Plays the webm links smoothly. Not sure about playing them over 3G/4G, though.
*edit* Actually, not sure if the codec is necessary.

Forget the 'if.' this is a revolution. gifs and everything 'if' related can RIP.
this is the era of the Web-Ems.

One syllable names always win out. WIFs.
