Vine is a new iOS video app created (read acquired) by Twitter. It is a stand alone app that allow users to create short (and I mean very short) videos and immediately upload them to their social networks. What makes it unique and fun is that it lets you edit (sort of) on the go. It takes a little practice but once you have it down it is quite fun. It creates a six second video that you record by holding your finger on the screen. You stop recording by releasing your finger and continue by touching the screen again. And so on and so on until you have reached six seconds. Then when video is uploaded it loops creating a new form animated GIF or sorts. Think of it as an attempt to become the Instagram of video. I think this has a very good chance at being a huge success. Brands should find good use for this as well.
Here is my first video uploaded to Vine.
Have you tried it yet? What do you think?
UPDATE: The app has been getting a little more press than usual as it seems adult content infiltrated their video streaming service. However, they are working on banning search terms and removing users who post this type of content. There's no such thing as bad press, right?
