    So, Twitter has a new app that lets you take 6 second looping videos called Vine.

    Has anyone tried it out yet?

    I just downloaded it, and will try and play with it later, because 6 seconds is all the free time I have. ;)

    @chrisbrogan wrote a post this morning called 11 Things a Business Could Do With Vine. (I have no idea how he can crank out content faster than I can read it!)

    Although it’s a short post, it might get your creative juices flowing.

    Hi @rich-brooks — 

    Previewed this morning – REALLY like an example by a commenter:http://vine.co/v/b5ddUQj7emm

    Six seconds does not sound like much until you see that example. Wow! Love this idea.  It’s for iOS though and you need iTunes to run Vine. 

    I’m a little corn-fused! Can I get this for my PC? Hmm.

    Here is another thing —  Twitter Unveils Video-Sharing Vine App for iOS — at PC Mag.

    These folks (like C. Brogan) get advance notice and usually have a chance to ‘beta test’ (for lack of a better term) so they can beat the rest of use to the punch and have a news item that not many will have to present.

    I’ve always thought that was OK as it gives me time to make a “How To” article for most of those new apps.  But if I cannot get it for my PC, I probably won’t bother. 

    I’m gonna have to spend more time using my phone!

    Yeah, Eileen… I hate that about a lot of those great apps… no PC edition. I can’t pry the smart phones away from my sons long enough to make one phone call much less USE it for anything else… like WORK, lol… so I normally muddle through with my laptop and Google Voice. Still… wish they’d add the PC version for old foagies… and the too often smart-less… :)

    That said… the minute I even heard about T’s big vid addition, my little mind went all giddy, thinking of 99 ways to put it to good use! I’ve been using Jing’s 10 second video limit to make a LOT of short useful instructional vids… and the 10 second limit FORCES you to speed up your narration, use less words to say more, and makes you much more focused and less time wasteful in your movements onscreen.

    Bottom line… with my video database of <10 second Jing clips, I can edit together a new vid daily… or more… just from all the clips I’ve already created.

    For how-to and process oriented videos, building a database of useful visuals, narrated actions, etc. is a HUGE time-saver. After 30+ years of music and video library management experience, all that ticky-tacky tedious work is finally starting to pay off as an online resource.

    So if Twitter has a 6-second limit… don’t worry. A LOT can be said, shown, illustrated, felt, played, viewed, etc. in a 6 second clip. My biggest question is… will creative commons clips be available to US to use in compilations elsewhere, as YouTube does?

    HI @atlantarobin 

    Apparently you can get Vine for PC if you download the right other stuff first. I did that and even that would not install properly on my small 13″ laptop (64 bit).  I may try it on other (bigger) machines here later.  
    I remember when the 10 second spots became very popular and of course, they still are. I do know you can do a lot in 10 seconds from the ads I see at YouTube and elsewhere.

    Just started playing with it – I like it a lot so far.  Definitely some fun uses.
