Twitter Introduces Vine, a New Video Feature, But With Privacy Snags
http://j.mp/14eKxND (New York Times)
"On Thursday, Twitter introduced Vine, a new video sharing service,
albeit with a few serious privacy hiccups. Vine allows users to shoot
and share bite-size, six-second-long looping video clips. That
constraint, Twitter said, meshes with its 140-character-or-less model
for Tweets. "Like Tweets, the brevity of videos on Vine (6 seconds or
less) inspires creativity," Michael Sippey, Twitter's vice president
for product, wrote in a blog post Thursday. "Now that you can easily
capture motion and sound, we look forward to seeing what you create."
But several users who signed up for the service on Thursday said that
when they tried to use the video service, they discovered that they
were logged in as another user."

Limited to looping six seconds of audio/video. Now, what sort of
things can you *show* and *say* in only six seconds? Hmm ... Yep ...
