\u201cBrevity is the Soul of Wit\u201d <\/strong><\/em>as once said by Polonius in Hamlet.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s big tech release was Twitter\u2019s video iOS app called \u201cVine<\/strong>\u201c.\u00a0 Vine<\/strong> enables you to make video clips and share them on Vine or Twitter.\u00a0\u00a0 It has been dubbed as the \u201cInstagram for videos.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As with Twitter\u2019s 140 characters, Vine allows only 6 seconds for the video and once it is made, it loops over and over again.\u00a0 Vine co-founder and general manager Dom Hofman wrote that, \u201cPosts on Vine are about abbreviation \u2013 the shortened form of something larger plays over and over.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>
\nAt first I thought 6 seconds was too short, but then I realized that it actually inspires creativity.\u00a0 In the Vine app, you can look at Editor\u2019s pick and there was a Vine video about a banana that became shorter and shorter and then re-appears when it loops again.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is also easy to use so you can make a video and share it immediately.<\/p>\n
