Vine is dead. For those who are unfamiliar, Vine is a social networking app that allowed users to post six-second videos. Now, after more than three years in operation, Vine announced they are shuttering the app officially. This isn’t that surprising—Twitter now owns the app, and they would probably prefer you use Twitter video clips instead.
But, there’s something that’s going to be lost. Something about the absurdity of an entire story, an entire argument, or just a quick joke, fitting into six seconds forced creators to be infinitely creative in allocating their time.
