Twitter has announced it is to close its video sharing service Vine about four years after it launched.

Vine let people share six-second-long video clips that played on a loop.

Twitter did not give a reason for the closure, but earlier on Thursday it announced it was cutting 9% of its workforce following slow growth of the social network.

"In the coming months we'll be discontinuing the [Vine] mobile app," the company said in a blog.

"Nothing is happening to the apps, website or your Vines today," the blog added.

"You'll be able to access and download your Vines. We'll be keeping the website online because we think it's important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made."

Probably isn't profitable. How the forget does Vine make money anyway?...

no more funny vine comps is a blessing in my book

how will we get our memes now

A little bit less cancer in this world



Vines were crap from the start. Surprised they even lasted 4 years tbh.


this might just be better than gawker shutting down





So now where else will I see 5 second videos of someone claiming they are not a gender or flipping me off because I'm straight?
