TEK PEEK

Hi tekpeekers  back after a long break, had some long time personal pledged to be settled of, so thought on a comback post we will discuss one of the current happening

I don’t kI don’t know how much of you guys like to drink wine but if you are in twitter sure you would be get addicted to vine, A mobile Video service which lets you create and share beautiful short loping videos

Vine the product acquired by twitter last October  is out as an apps and available for iphone and ipod touch and it’s a free apps

Its amazing a video service apps  without a play / pause / record button

Users record by holding their thumb against the screen, and stop by releasing

 

Its co- Founder  and creative director Rus Yusupov   @rus  talks about his brave decision & new innovation done @ vine here 

He calls vine as an apps created to stimulate peoples creativity and not how to use the apps ( in the sense its more simple to use )

They initially had 3 redesigns for vine form the time  it was released 

(this proves the fact that vine is a product of A/B testing)

They did some of crucial UX decisions like removing the title bar and bottom menu bar ,Rus Yuspov says that they went on with such decions because they Thought these bars were occupying the place where videos where living

On not having any play button it was absolutely “new “

 

 

WhenTwitter bought vine the newyork based startup last October 2012 Dick Costolo was question why did he buy this company he repled “ THE NEXT BIG THING “

Within two days of its launch  it was the topic on social media it topped the app store downloads and many called it INSTAGRAM OF VIDEO

But a few critics called it as a silly apps , “Silly thing strike skies “

Is vine entirely new product? 

No During the past two years, dozens of startups have tried to accomplish what Twitter has come close to doing in about two weeks: bring mobile video sharing to the mainstream

No there was Cinemagram, but this video editing featured software which saw 116% increase in tweets is still loosing its battle with VINE .

WE already had discussed about SMULE’s STRUM another video editing and sharing apps

Though twitter never had any Great launch events or any media ties to promote this VINE it stuck the cord

with millions 

As you get famous more you are under the spot light of risk , same way vine is facing some jerks 

Jerk no 1

As a close watching competitor FB has blocked VINE apps from its users

 request to search for Facebook friends on Vine now yields a pop-up message indicating that the app is not authorized to make the Facebook request

  

We all knew the fight between instagram and twitter and battel between twitter and FB for the peoples reach part

Considering women in  the  blue t shit to be twitter and the other to be fb 

hope this battle never ends to innovation to survive 

So this cutting of of vine by Fb has put lot of its fans under bad mood

After which

 

BUMP Version 2

 

This viral apps had a lot of not to safe videos of male and female porn content getting viral too

vinepeek.com which streams random viral vine videos was first to get affected with this fever

After a few hours vine became the new porn search engine

Few people got disgusted and even opted to quit vine

So APPLE had a serious problem with it, after which the open apps was updated to 17 + age rating

But still vine is still experimenting with porn censorship

cincidering the tall teen as ever strict apple  , which trashed vine off its store 

 

Even one of the vine porn was on editors pick and twitter admitted it as a mistake

But this is not the end of this new video sharing baby

Big brands to new startups started rolling their vine campaign  and started getting response in a more successful way 

 

Gif was one of the success behind  tumblrs hot traffic , Vine User friendly environment   videos is on roll out spree, so video or visual social media will be the current trend we are experiencing in
