In October, Twitter announced that it would kill its video sharing service, Vine. The service was launched for mobiles about three years ago. However the website will be live for users to download their favourite Vines.
Twitter announced several weeks ago that Vine will be discontinuing its services. Although, the company wasn’t clear on what would happen to Vine and whether or not the company would replace it with some other downgraded service in the future. It appears that the Vine app will be replaced by a new application called Vine Camera.
The new service is expected to start in January and more information about the Vine Camera is expected in the coming days.
“Here’s what’s coming: in January, we’re transitioning the Vine app to a pared-down Vine Camera. With this camera app you’ll still be able to make six-second looping videos, and either post them directly to Twitter or save them to your phone,” said an expert from Twitter.
Vine Camera will surely include features from Vine, but it’s still unclear which features will make the cut. Twitter has also accentuated the fact that it will roll out an easier way for Vine users to follow their favourite accounts on Twitter. Users can still continue to download Vines through the application or the website.
