Twitter’s new video sharing app, Vine, was launched last week. There aren’t many like it: simple apps, released with very little fanfare and publicity, that generate buzz.
But Vine is one such innovation.
Likened to Instagram but for video, it offers a simple way to give others an insight into your business, your life and your world through 6 second looping videos. It’s not complicated, but does it offer potential for marketing your business?
The following short vids have been shared on Vine this morning:
- someone taking an early flight and going through security
- a little boy colouring in his homework
- a coffee machine creating a delicious brew
- a cat running around someone’s living room
None of them ground-breaking, none of them designed to promote anything. But for business, there may be more to it.
Here are some of our favourite
