Vine was the perfect platform to compliment Twitter. Users could film micro clips within 6 seconds that would loop over and over. And the resulting content is nothing short of Amazing. Many �internet personalities� gained popularity on the platform, and the six-second limit resulted in some really creative videos.
Twitter re-strategized Vine by increasing its 6 second time limit to the same number of characters that are in a Tweet: so 140 seconds. This changed the platform and perhaps chased some die-hard users of the platform away.
Following the announcement that Twitter was going to cut 8% of its workforce, the company announced its discontinuation of the micro-vlogging platform.
In recent months, Twitter has been focusing its resources into Periscope, the blogging platform�s live-stream sub-platform.
However, Twitter says it isn�t making any changes to Vine just yet. The site and app will remain in commission for the time being. But given Twitter�s new plans: �in the coming months, we�ll be discontinuing the mobile app,� and �you�ll be able to access and download your Vines,� it appears that Twitter will notify users some time well ahead of the shutdown, giving them a chance to download all their creations.
