Does anyone know if you can use GIF animations in iChat?

Not currently. At this time, iChat does not support animated buddy icons.

That's silly. I would think it would be supported, it would make sence.

there is an app that lets you use a gif as your icon. it basically refreshes your icon with a new picture every second or so. but that could get annoying for people on 56k because refreshing your icon would take up their bandwidth.

i can't remember the name of the app, but i'm sure Google would have it.
