Nearly eleven months ago, the popular short-form video platform Vine was shuttered for good. It was replaced with an app called Vine Camera, which carried the same name and featured the same functionality, but lacked the enormous community that made Vine such a weird, interesting and worthwhile app in the first place.

Twitter’s micro video app Vine died an untimely death — or, if you never used it, a totally logical and appropriate death — late last year, much to the chagrin of the dozen or so “Vine stars” who rose to fame with their goofy 6-second videos. Shortly after the announcement of its demise, Twitter seemed to have …
Last week, Twitter shocked the world when it abruptly discontinued Vine, the beloved six-second video platform. Although Twitter says that it plans to keep the service online for the foreseeable future, the app will likely vanish in the coming months, potentially erasing millions of Vines in the process.

Today, beleaguered microblogging site Twitter announced that it’s killing off Vine, the strange mobile video app that it launched four years ago.

Vine on Tuesday announced that its official Windows Phone 8 app was online and ready for download, making it the second major app that it’s snagged in less than a month. Getting both Vine and Instagram means that Windows Phone now …
Instagram tried to crush Vine when it added video-sharing to its popular mobile service, and initially it looked like the company might succeed. Vine is still going strong, however, and the firm’s iPhone app sat at No.17 on Apple’s top free apps chart in the U.S. at the time of this writing. While people continue …
Things looked mighty grim for Vine a month ago. The app went into tail spin in America when Instagram launched a video clip service that copied carefully the most popular Vine features. Vine went from the No. 1 free app in America in mid-June to No. 26 on July 8th, an unusual swan dive for a top …
