I read about that, It's unfortunate that App is really popular, Hopefully someone creates an alternative to it.

I think Twitter is just the worst. It encourages sensationalism and only exists to make people feel like they're informed when really they just have the most superficial awareness of any given subject.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-27-2016, 03:21 PM

I never really cared about Vine myself and always thought it was pointless. But whatever.

*Spike Spiegel* · 10-27-2016, 05:31 PM

Is Twitter hemorrhaging money or something?

Seems like an odd choice.

*Powder* · 10-27-2016, 06:40 PM

Dude, this is wack AF. I love Vine.

*Cure* · 10-27-2016, 06:54 PM

Yeah, Vine can be pretty funny.

*XERO* · 10-27-2016, 08:03 PM

So, I guess 6 seconds of silence or...?

*plastroncafe* · 10-27-2016, 08:05 PM

This is a damn shame. Some of the stuff people have made with that app is down right amazing.

*CyberCubed* · 10-27-2016, 08:17 PM

I don't even know what Vine is. Isn't it the same thing as youtube?

It would make sense that it'd be shut down then, it can't compete.

*Cure* · 10-27-2016, 08:20 PM

Yeah, yeah, you don't know what anything is, blah blah.

*CyberCubed* · 10-27-2016, 08:22 PM

I've honestly never heard of Vine before seeing this thread title. I know of some other video sites like dailymotion, but not this.

*Prowler* · 10-27-2016, 10:23 PM

I honestly had no idea Twitter owned vine. Hell, I only recently found out Instagram was owned by Facebook.

Meh whatever. Never cared much about vine, anyway.

*Candy Kappa* · 10-28-2016, 04:27 AM

It's a shame that it's closing down, luckily most people I follow have Instagram and YouTube.

*Shark_Blade* · 10-28-2016, 05:30 AM

I don't use it much but still a pity.

Stop being such an ignorant old caveman and get with the times.

Even when Youtube has had whole videos devoted to Vines?

*BubblyShell22* · 10-28-2016, 06:39 PM

Cubed, Vine is a video site that devotes itself to videos lasting only six seconds.

*CyberCubed* · 10-28-2016, 06:56 PM

What's the point of a 6 second video? What can you honestly get out of that?

Social media perplexes me. I'm still used to the days of geocities, livejournal and forums like this one.

*sdp* · 10-28-2016, 07:06 PM

Because you can be creative and make fun stuff, sadly when instagram copied Vine and Snapchat arose less people used Vine and it couldn't be profitable unlike say Periscope. I liked Vine but didn't use it enough since it was only good for wasting some time. Twitter owning Vine and FB instagram are all old news.

Twitter is indeed losing money but it'll be able to pull through, it's my favorite social media website, if you learn how to use it correctly you can get all the information you need.

*CyberCubed* · 10-28-2016, 09:34 PM

I've heard of snapchat but never actually seen it in action. Is it what the name implies? You take a picture of yourself and chat live with someone?
