Anyways, I feel I'm being played by all the media attention that this got. Since when an app update gets all this attention ? Are we getting so superficial that this stuff really gets so many spotlights ?
It's not even a new app or anything disruptive, it's just Vine on Instagram with edition mode.
My reaction in general is the same as the tagging feature- I'd prefer it didn't have it, as I like Instagram as a service for almost taking abstract photos (landscapes, patterns) than of me and my friends on nights out. But I also realise that it is inevitable, what with them being owned by Facebook.
I swear every single product launch or redesign announcement these days uses the word beautiful.

Instagram talks a good game, but I find this to be more unimaginative dreck. Look, I get it, you need to clone Vine to stay competitive, but it's not new or a re-imagining of the video paradigm.
Most of these social startups promise unique experiences based on new forms of social interaction, but really only deliver more ways to watch cats dance on the internet.
Bring on the hardcore technology like better Ethernet Switching, Less Apps please.

I wonder how Vine will fight back. Will they now also include pictures ? ;) Anyways, I feel I'm being played by all the media attention that this got.
