7:49 AM Vine vs Instagram

Vine is twitter's new method of social media rivaling the social media giant, Instagram. A significant difference between the two however is that Vine is intended to create video or gif images. The article goes on to talk about whether consumers would respond positively to the new media or remain loyal to Instagram. In my opinion people use Instagram because it's easy, and makes our regular photos more interesting. Vine just seems too impractical and too tedious to become popular. The app itself, according to the article, is clean simple and easy to use. Something that will appeal to consumers. However not everyone will want to use it, because of shyness and vulnerability. With Instagram, you don't even have to post a picture of yourself if you don't want to. You wouldn't have to do that with Vine either but realistically what else would you put on video?
