What is Vine?
Vine is the best way to see and share life in motion. Create short, beautiful, looping videos in a simple and fun way for your friends and family to see...
Vine videos last 6 seconds maximum.
Vine is a Twitter brand.
I'm persuaded that photo will soon become something rare, a niche activity for "experts", "passionate people", a bit like painting, sculpture, silent film or calligraphy. I've already details it on my previous posts on this topic. Photos don't render movement, have no sound. Boring isn't it?
I think short video will become the norm or communication.
And these two services are really good illustration of the actual trend. The first one bring you news in a minute, the other, 6 seconds scenes.
Use Vine a bit and then tell me: Don't you think it's fascinating?
Just press screen for some seconds, change the angle of the film of the object filmed, repress the screen, and you get a little video, a little story will people moving, sounds, or things not moving is you just film a fix point, but with sound. It's brilliant, isn't it?
Use Tout and tell me: Would you use it every day?
Well, in my opinion, the interface is today a big ugly, content not really cool so it needs improvement but the 1 minute concept to get information. I bet on it! You ?
It's the future my firiends!
And photos, like silent film, the past...

Edit march 2013: Galaxy S4 is setting the stage for the end of the photo era: "There are now 12 shooting modes to choose from like, "Drama Shot" that lets you see all your action in one continuous time-lapse. Another feature is "Sound & Shoot", which stores sound and voice together as the picture is taken so you can see photos just as they happen."
