Gickr: Create animated GIFs online
Gickr is a cool web app that lets you quickly created animated GIFs without leaving the comfort of your web browser. Gickr has two modes: The first mode lets you grab frames for your animation directly from Flickr. Just enter a Flickr username and/or tag and your pictures will pop up, then you can include the ones you want to include in the animation. The second mode lets you upload images from your hard drive. The options are simple and few--you can choose the size of the resulting image from a drop-down and you can pick a speed from "Slow" to "Blasting."
