#112Cool minimalism. I wouldn't advise dedicating any time other than as a hobby on any twitter API though. I think we all should remember how Twitter treats independent developers who get in the way of "their" revenue.
The grammarian in me would change the statement at the bottom to "vinepeek is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by VineLabs, Inc"

#113Ah...the results of the race to be the "Instagram of Video". Vine is no different than any number of recent video sharing apps. Vine does nothing new but sets new arbitrary time limits on the videos they support. Just like the others Vine will try to convince you that through focus groups they have found "3 second" videos will revolutionize video sharing and discovery, but this is nothing new. Examples: Threadlife: S…
The limits do have a big effect on quality, and ease of use of these micro video apps. The idea is to share a quick video, not spend a ton of time filming, uploading and formatting.

#114Can you add a thumbs up/down button? And show the thumbs up videos more then the thumbs down? Some videos are really cool and deserve to be seen more, while others are literally a video of someones feet. I think this is the killer feature this app needs!

> I am left wondering, what problem do all these video sharing apps think they are solving by setting arbitrary video time limits?
Here's a Forbes article on the subject: http://www.forbes.com/sites/carminegallo/2012/11/29/constrai...
(Meta-)quote: “Recent studies offer evidence that, contrary to popular belief, the main event of the imagination—creativity—does not require unrestrained freedom; rather, it relies on limits and obstacles.”
Another example: TED Talks, which are maximum 18 minutes

#119YouTube for the Attention-Deficit Generation? I unfortunately find watching these jumpy snippets jarring. I can see the appeal for getting tiny slices of someone's day, but I'm finding it hard to enjoy it.
Thank god there is another sane person like me. I too find it difficult to make sense or enjoy just 6 second snippets. Conveying a sweet short targeted message for a specific someone with just a 6 second video itself is so hard, let alone be able to generate a 6 second content that is of meaning/relevance to a much broader audience. Just a novelty that will fade off. I cant see any useful purpose for 6 second clips i…
"Thank god there is another sane person like me." Check your ego, please.
"I cant see any useful purpose for 6 second clips in a social wide audience context."
"I can't see any useful purpose for 140 character blurbs in a social wide audience context."
