Twitter.com, which is on its last legs, is shuttering their once popular Vine video app.
“We’ll be working closely with creators to make sure your questions are answered and will work hard to do this the right way,” Twitter’s Vine team wrote in a Medium.com post on Thursday.
The social media platform is hemorrhaging money and recently announced plans to lay off 350 staffers — 9% of its workforce.
NY Daily News — Twitter dropped $30 million to buy Vine in October 2012, only four months after Dom Hofmann, Rus Yusupov, and Colin Kroll founded it. It immediately became a hit for sports, journalism and comedy videos, and launched the careers of some self-styled web personalities, such as King Bach and Liane V.
But the industry has since caught up to Vine-land, with Twitter videos and several live-stream apps taking it place.
Yall wont be doing it for the Vine no-mo.
Bye Vine! You will not be missed.
I watch those WSHH Vines on the regular.
Welp..another one bites the dust.
Don’t think twitter is going anywhere soon, if anything subscriptions are going to be a thing.
THE VINE**
FIXED.
Me too. I’m still into vine, but everything has its season. Plenty of folks came up, and not just the inventor…The magician, several of those white folks. A few of those Black dudes made it to the big screen…Shiiiit, must be nice. Of course not for all of them,,,At least one turned to porn briefly, allegedly. Is what it is. I’d do porn if I had the right measurements?? Meh. I guess fetish porn would embrace me?
Some classic Vines being dropped on my twitter TL right now.
If they were smart, they would’ve bought their building like Zynga (Farmville).

They call it The Twitter Building, but I don’t even think they own it.
Multiple companies are there too. Somebody I know works there.
They own the building
Well they straight.
They put a hip supermarket/bar in there.. As well..
A few businesses around them have failed as well..
They spent millions on refurbishing it too
I used to go to Rainbow Co-op for dairy products. I just have it delivered now.
There’s many grocery stores I haven’t been to.
Yeah, twitter ain’t going anywhere.
Just eat ays.

Best vine ever.

I don’t know who in the world is still on twitter, it has run its course, may that soon RIP! I hate when brands want me to still do twitter parties etc because it has played out and so has Vine lol. Bye Bye!
Now instead of doing it for the Vine, we can get back to doing it for our boss … cause most of the vine videos came out during work hours.
At all.
I hate twitter…..
Another app bites the dust….
are you talking bout Joanne the scammer
Bloop!!!
Noooooooo. Yuck. This was one of those goofy Black vine guys. Money must have gotten tight along the way. Post vine I couldn’t believe he did that. Only did a little, but he did it…
I’m so glad it’s gone… I wish I never went to the place… Smh The worst mistake of my life!

Good!
Oh ok was it gay porn..you know that’s the only porn guys regret doing when they’re down on luck
No.lol. Just porn. Looked like some amateur type site that encourages ‘real couples’. Can’t imagine it paid much…
People started stealing vines, putting them on youtube, and wouldnt credit the creator. Who wants to give their image away for free.
Bye, Vine!
Twitter is super fast at getting the news, info to the people, if the info is true or false is a different story. Plus some of the funniest meme’s come from twitter. Oh and twitter is exposing a lot of people for who they are.
when will Twitter die? I only use it to read the roasts after award shows and when shit goes wrong, but I’ve never been able to keep up because it just confuses me.
And Instagram – I’m about tired of it too! I don’t like looking at people faces all day. Inanimate objects I am OK with.
Idk y but I hate Twitter I created an account n just never use it, my soul just don’t like it n ion use the Otha sites I let the young people have dat only FB, ig
They should have remember the acronym K.I.S.S
Ohhh
A SAN Franciscan!!
I don’t really need to leave the house for groceries. It’s fun to take the lids to show them how to shop for fresh produce.

I work for Instacart and WholeFoods, so I totally understand
I like Twitter particularly for the commentary, the memes, and shady hashtags. People are in rare form on there.
