Things are not smooth going for Twitter, the sell off news, the layoff news and now Twitter just announced that it’s shutting down Vine. You will no longer be able to create 6 sec clips and loops.
Twitter announced today that they are going to discontinue the Vine service. Which means that you’ll not be able to create any more Vines.
However they said that the Vine website will be open and you’ll be able to watch all the awesome Vines that have been created. Glory to all the Vine creators. There have been super Vines created since the services was started in 2013.
Below is the announcement on the shut down.
Since 2013, millions of people have turned to Vine to laugh at loops and see creativity unfold. Today, we are sharing the news that in the coming months we’ll be discontinuing the mobile app.
Nothing is happening to the apps, website or your Vines today. We value you, your Vines, and are going to do this the right way. You’ll be able to access and download your Vines. We’ll be keeping the website online because we think it’s important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made. You will be notified before we make any changes to the app or website.
Thank you. Thank you. To all the creators out there — thank you for taking a chance on this app back in the day. To the many team members over the years who made this what it was — thank you for your contributions. And of course, thank you to all of those who came to watch and laugh every day.
What’s next? We’ll be working closely with creators to make sure your questions are answered and will work hard to do this the right way. We’ll be sharing more details on this blog and our Twitter account, and will notify you through the app when we start to change things.
Goodbye loops, Goodbye 6 second videos…
