The buzz about Vine – pro and con – is non stop. BBC News has a great 6-point analysis of why they think it will continue grabbing attention:
- Stop motion animation is alive and well
- Ads work at six second length
- People tend to do rather than say
- Artificial limits help hype a social media offering
- Aggregations of Vine are mesmerising
- Cats/porn dominate every platform on the internet
All credible. Read the detail behind each point on the BBC website. And a nice video quiz there well illustrates some of the imaginative uses of Vine.
