It's a sad day for Vine Users because Twitter will shut down the video-sharing site.
Vine is a video sharing platform that was acquired by Twitter in 2012. It was introduced to the public in 2013.
This news came after Twitter announced that they would be laying off 300 workers, 9 percent of the company's global workforce. They stressed that they would be giving the users ample time to download their Vine videos before the app closes for good.
Business Insider reported that nothing would happen to the apps and Twitter will be keeping the Vine's website indefinitely. Twitter still believes that it's important that people can still watch their Vines video.
Users don't have to be completely saddened by Vine's early departure. There are Vine alternatives users can download to help them create short-clip videos.
Viddy is like Vine that allows users to record 30-second clips. It also allows you to open previously shot videos from your library and apply one of the 16 filters to the video.
You can also share this video with your followers or send them via email or text messages. This app has a Popular tab that highlights the hottest short-clipped videos, a previous report said.
Keek is another app that's like Vine. This app allows you to create 36-second videos and follow other app users.
The app also allows users to connect Keek on their Facebook and Twitter accounts. They can also invite Facebook Friends and Twitter Followers to use the app.
Kip is another app that can record 1-minuete videos. This app also allows you to get videos on your phone or Youtube.
It has 11 filters and can create a slide show from your photos. Users can share their videos on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Email and SMS by using this app.
This app also allows you to message your follower privately. You can also share a comment on this app.
