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…

what's also really annoying, is that there's no way to search just by username; in case you dont want connect via fb or twitter at all.

I wonder how this will affect Instagram usage.

For maximum effectiveness users will purchase Projecteo slides of their Instagram photos, then Vine themselves doing shadow puppets over the projections.

This is exactly what my startup, Vinecteogram, does. Check us out on the App Store!

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.

I'm actually quite happy with the app parody we're reaching. Most, if not all, of the apps on my Galaxy Nexus home-screen are available on both platforms.

Hilarious slip. Think you meant parity.

As an android user I'm glad I can finally contribute meaningful content such as this https://vine.co/v/b36jXQnxpQF

I had thought that Vine was something akin to Google Hangouts until now.

So now I know instead that it is a simple to use, high quality animated gif generator... Which I guess isn't such a bad thing. It certainly has entertainment value (I'm not really of the camp that believes that every company has to make world-changing products)

Great! I was looking for a mobile-first version of YouTwitFace.com.
