This is a monumental milestone in innovation. Honored to be part of a society where Vine on Android makes the HN front page.

This is our generation's moon shot.

Elon Musk only wishes he were a part of this

Finally. I recently switched to a Galaxy S4 and lack of Vine was disheartening to me. I'm glad to finally see a popular app make its way into the worlds most popular app store. I wish more high-profile apps would launch with iOS and Android in mind instead of just iOS, us Android users love cool apps too.

Really surprised they are getting away with 4.0 and later. That would be like a dream come true for me to make an app that only supports those versions.

I think he would pay them with Zynga shares.

Vine seems awesome, but it has a fundamental issue that I just can't get past: I can't easily add my friends from Facebook. Now that isn't Vine's (or Twitter's) fault, it's due to Facebook's new policies[1], a policy that was nearly too late and required them to buy out Instagram.

I don't know how a company can help someone find their current Facebook friends, and match that with users of their social network, but it is one of the essential cogs[2] to usurp Facebook as the dominant social network

-

[1] "You may not use Facebook Platform to promote, or to export user data to, a product or service that replicates a core Facebook product or service without our permission" https://developers.facebook.com/policy/ (section I.10)

[2] Finding existing friends is only one of the essential parts to growing a vibrant social network. You also need a stable and clear platform for people to communicate/share, and a novel feature/s to give people an excuse to try it out (e.g. Facebooks was more pics and tagging, G+ was circles/hangouts, Instagram was filters, etc).

Finally. I love seeing high quality apps make it to Android.

Annoyed. I uploaded my first Vine and am connected to Twitter but the share option isn't appearing under the "More" (three dots) menu.

Okay, it just took a really long time for Vine to share it to Twitter.
