Vine Co-Founder Dom Hofmann Says He's Working On 'a Follow-Up To Vine' (theverge.com)

Last year, the six-second video social media app called Vine was shut down by Twitter. The Verge reports that Vine's co-founder, Dom Hofmann, says he's working on "a follow-up to Vine," where he will be funding the project himself outside of his current company, Interspace. "I'm going to work on a follow-up to vine. i've been feeling it myself for some time and have seen a lot of tweets, dms, etc.," Hofmann tweeted.

Unfortunately, he didn't elaborate on his plans. It's possible the follow-up site could be another short-term video app similar to the original Vine, or some other project that will look to build on the foundation Vine started. Would you be interested in a new Vine-like social media app, or did Vine never really appeal to you to begin with?

Pointless variations = CANCER

[Anonymous Coward]

Vine is as ridiculous as Twitter, as a poinzless variation on something that is already existing.

It is just a file sharer ... limited to videos ... limited to a few seconds.
*gasp*
Like you couldn't just use a normal video hoster for this. Hell, give FTP a faster search function, some extended attributes, and enforce a certain file system structure, and you got the exact same functionality! Or actually even more!
As it could replace YouTube, Twitter, Soundcloud, Blogs, Sharehosters, and pretty much everything else like that out there.

This is the same insanity as "apps": There's an app for everything because there HAS to be an app for every permutation of combinations of functionality!
Because apparently, the iDiots that come up with this shit either do not understand the concept of a computer (its universality being the point!), or deliberately transform it into a fixed-function appliance/gadget so you cannot treat it *like a computer*, but HAVE to get a different tool or each different job.
