To make the most of the ability to share rich photo content on [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget), [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-5) France temporarily transformed its account into an interactive social media flip book.

The flip book was introduced with a photo that explained a user could press the "J" key on the keyboard in order to scroll down. From there, a set of time-lapse photos would begin to unfold in succession, highlighting the beauty of the city. In reverse, it's also possible to scroll back up through the flip book in the reverse order using "K."

As well as providing entertainment for a short while on the [interactive social media platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactivity-studio1), Google France proves that sharing information on Twitter is so much better when it is enhanced with creativity.
