I don't get it. Why not make it Twitter's Dedicated Video App as vine already has a strong network which can be built upon. Very soon Facebook will release their dedicated video app and Twitter will be looking clueless. I don't get big companies
Integrating two services of this scale isn't trivial or inexpensive, even for a big company. Especially for a big company that is laying people off.

#60This is pretty sad. I'm not a "proper" Vine user -- I don't even have the app installed -- but I've long loved seeing vines via Twitter or Tumblr. I hope a similar product comes along to fill the void and reunite the Vine community (introducing: YouTube Loops??).
