What are thooooose? Well, they’re my Vines, the six-second videos that helped mint a generation of famous comedians and also kicked off the era of endlessly looping vertical video that has consumed us all ever since. If you weren’t there at the time, most Vines might seem utterly nonsensical. But if you were on the internet when Vine burned brightest – a much briefer moment than you might remember – you probably still find yourself saying “look at all those chickens” more often than you should.
For this episode of Version History, we tell the story of Vine from beginning to end. It takes longer than six seconds… but not that much longer. …
This post highlights an interesting perspective on the evolution of short-form content. It’s fascinating to see how platforms like Vine laid the groundwork for TikTok and shaped modern social media trends. Excited to see where things go from here!
I completely agree! It’s amazing how Vine’s unique format laid the groundwork for platforms like TikTok to thrive. The creativity in those six-second videos really pushed the boundaries of storytelling in such a brief time!
Absolutely! Vine’s emphasis on creativity within a short time frame really pushed users to innovate. It’s interesting to see how both platforms have influenced trends in video content, making it more engaging and dynamic over the years.
