Vine, the 6-second video sharing app

Vine is a video sharing app owned by Twitter, that allows you to make a short film for a total of 6 seconds. Each short video plays in a continuous loop. As you get started with filming, you hold your finger on the screen for about 1-2 seconds, after that it'll ask you to do it again 2 more times, then it'll put all of your posts together. There you have it! you'll have your first vine post. Users that follow or even if they don't follow you can re-vine your post sharing your video on their page. I used to use vine a couple of years ago to post silly videos of me and my friends, but over the years Social Media came out with a new and better app for sharing videos. Snapchat which is way better, for a total of 10 second videos and pictures. Plus, you can add those to a story for your friends to see. With Vine, you could only post it to Twitter, and I don't really use Twitter so I didn't think it was for me. Although it is still a pretty cool app, there are a few downsides to Vine. They cannot access your Facebook friends to connect to those who do use Vine, and there's no way to upload a video from your camera roll to post to Vine. In saying this, I don't think Vine has much staying power now because of Snapchat and Instagram (more popular). Studies say that "Top Viner's" haven't even posted in over a year. Sooo.. I don't think there is going to be much more growth for this Social Media app!

  1. I've never used vine but definitely agree on snapchat being the better app, plus the filters on snapchat make it that much more fun to use!

  2. I just seen your post about vine and had to have a look at what it actually was. I myself am Social media dumb lol. I stick to what I know and dont really have the time to try out the newest and lastest social media platforms. It does sound like a cool app, but like you said, Snapchat and Instagram are way more popular. I'll trust what you say girl, cause even though I have accounts for both, I still have no clue how to use them properly lol I guess I should really make an effort to know them if I am going into business tho

  4. I'm actually glad it is shut down, I found them to be funny at times, but also so very annoying.
