Twitters new 6 second video app set to swamp world with tsunami of celebrity creativity

vine-app

I’ve got to confess two things: 1. I spend a lot of time on Twitter (to be fair, I’m paid to), and 2. I do like a nice, new, easy-to-use toy.

What’s the appeal of Vine?
Brevity. What Twitter is for text, Vine is for video. It will serve you tiny bento-esque boxes of crafted – or crazy – content. You have six seconds to inspire, amuse, impress, tell a story. Can you do it with no fancy editing, just the stop/start recording which creates montages on the hoof? Just as we attempt to craft elegant and memorable retweetable tweets, so it will be with video. Oh, the fun we’ll have.
It’s hard to think of a retail brand which wouldn’t be able to engage and delight with Vine. Small objects of desire can be filmed and tweeted, brands can talk to followers, stunning goals will play over and over, ‘you’ve been framed’ moments endlessly loop, sneak peeps of new products, showrooms, restaurants, quick hellos to fans … I can already see sponsored Vines and celebrity endorsements … it’s going to be FAB.

hershelwalker 28th-Jan-2013 09:45 pm (UTC)

junemeaugust 29th-Jan-2013 03:36 am (UTC)
hmm brand new info.
punishermax 28th-Jan-2013 09:03 pm (UTC)
Oh boy so it's like twitter except we get to SEE celebrities saying the stupid shit they say on twitter.

It's like taking the jump from describing a shit to carefully recording it.
mynamehere07 28th-Jan-2013 09:06 pm (UTC)
MTE.

You know it will be a week or less before some celeb accidentally tweets or vines a short clip of their genitals.
miriamele 29th-Jan-2013 12:42 am (UTC)
And I'll be first in line to peek, tbh.
morgan90 28th-Jan-2013 09:03 pm (UTC)
This thing is absolutely pointless. Whereas other social media platforms may be self-indulgent they at least have secondary purposes; Vine has no utility whatsoever.
morgan90 28th-Jan-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
Also this "article" reads like a bad press release
ectypes 28th-Jan-2013 09:12 pm (UTC)
i think it's about as "pointless" as a photograph tbh. it's what you do with it.
kamikashi 28th-Jan-2013 09:16 pm (UTC)
yeah. its sort of like someone making a 6 sec flip book on the internet. it can be good or shitty depending on what the person does.

superchocobear 28th-Jan-2013 09:39 pm (UTC)
My first thought was that celebs could use it to make teaser videos about whatever they're doing, to get fans all riled up
shortliljackers 28th-Jan-2013 09:03 pm (UTC)
you have six seconds to tell a story? what da fuck.

my story would be "once upon a -" woops, out of time.
godramaclub 28th-Jan-2013 09:17 pm (UTC)
Haha, I take it you never heard of Hemingway's "Saddest Story in Six Words"?
cabernet 28th-Jan-2013 09:28 pm (UTC)
I just googled it :(
hireaunicorn 28th-Jan-2013 09:46 pm (UTC)
omg :(
velvetpocket 28th-Jan-2013 11:15 pm (UTC)
I was trying to imagine how bad it could be, then I googled it, and it was even worse :(
diggingtrouble 28th-Jan-2013 11:56 pm (UTC)
why did i just google this omg :(
caitie_roxs13 28th-Jan-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
I can't do shit with 6 seconds.
sandstorm 28th-Jan-2013 09:17 pm (UTC)
MTE.
hypnology 28th-Jan-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
IDK if this gonna last... I mean only 6 seconds? If I wanted to watch something that short, I'd just go look at the picture or read it or whatever. Maybe I'm not comprehending what this is properly but either way, no thank you.
antonia 29th-Jan-2013 03:06 am (UTC)
I get where you're coming from 100%. That being said, I said essentially the exact same thing about Twitter when it first came out haha. I see this working out...
hippie_chick 28th-Jan-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
So. This or Keek? Keek gives you longer clips though 36 secs or something like that?
atomicdogmeat 28th-Jan-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
Six seconds is just enough time for a cum shot. Score.
fancycarousel 28th-Jan-2013 09:08 pm (UTC)
THIS.
homicidalslayer 28th-Jan-2013 09:05 pm (UTC)
They need to make people take entrance exams to use shit like this.
theratwhispers 28th-Jan-2013 09:05 pm (UTC)
6 seconds. Now people can show me 6 whole seconds of their quirky-indie cool dinner in the city! HOORAY!
nazliy 28th-Jan-2013 09:06 pm (UTC)
6 seconds? okay.
hollymarchosias 28th-Jan-2013 09:06 pm (UTC)
I can't even get this app to work.
danmac23 28th-Jan-2013 09:09 pm (UTC)
I think it is IOS only right now, but the website with the clips seems to work for android:

hollymarchosias 28th-Jan-2013 09:10 pm (UTC)
I have the latest version of iOS on a 3GS though.
hoot 28th-Jan-2013 09:57 pm (UTC)
I can't either. The video screen freezes like half a second after it launches.
noon 28th-Jan-2013 09:06 pm (UTC)
