The Day We Discovered Vine

Say what? The next social media app is six seconds of looping video? Last month, Twitter came out with an app called Vine  that lets anyone (right now, only using iOS) create a mini-masterpiece on their smartphone. As expected, most are YouTubey (like the amazing scootering Dog below). But we think that, like the tweets and cell phone vids that told the story to the world from Tahrir Square and before that, Iran, the Vine medium right now being juiced by crowdcreativity  everywhere, will one day soon creep into the world of news and even commercials and branding. Long live the wisdom of everyone!
