Mobile video sharing app Vine is celebrating it’s one year anniversary this month, and it’s come a long way in a short time, much like it’s maximum video run-time of six seconds. The video loop design is perfect and mesmerizing for the low attention span of the information age. Vine was bought by Twitter in October, added to the iPhone store in January, and now the Android device this month.

  1. I suppose Vine is to YouTube what Twitter is to Facebook. I have no need for Vine myself. If I want to put a video somewhere, I’ll send it to YouTube (none would fit on Vine anyway). I won’t be making an account there either. Some of them are just as annoying as animated GIFs, except now they have audio. Pretty soon there will be just as many of these video clip sites as there are photo sharing sites, which I have lost count of now.
