The Vine

The Vine was a short-form video platform where users uploaded and shared looping clips typically lasting up to six seconds. Launched in 2013, it became popular for its quick, creative, and often humorous content, fostering viral trends and early influencers. Acquired by Twitter in 2016, Vine ultimately shut down in 2017, but its influence persists in today's short-video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. It was notable for encouraging spontaneous and inventive storytelling within a brief format, shaping modern internet culture and social media entertainment.
