I’m loving Vine right now. It’s a mobile app that allows you to record short 6 second videos that loop and you can easily share with your friends.
Just when you thought you needed yet another social media network to stay on top of besides Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, your blog, blah, blah, blah…
No, wait! Hear me out – this one is worth a try and it’s easy to use: You put your finger on the screen to record, then take your finger off the screen to stop recording. Then, add a comment and publish. Done.
I think the continuous loop on the video adds an element of quirkiness. I’m sure there will be lots of people who get creative with the loop and make remarkable short films with it. But for me, I plan on using it to capture those quick little moments from A&Z that cannot be captured with a still photo.
Like Arielle singing the opening song from the Lion King (you might have to un-mute to hear her singing):
Or Zavier enjoying the breeze, eyes closed and all, aboard an architectural boat tour along the Chicago River on a warm Spring afternoon:
Or Arielle showing off her tap dance recital costume:
Give it a try and let me know what you think! Leave a comment and let me know your Vine account so I can follow you!
Love vine, not too great at it yet. And some are just simply amazing! Who knew what you could do in 6 secs.
6 secs is about the attention span of my kids, so I guess it works out just great!
Thanks for explaining what Vine is! I keep hearing about it but had no idea it was for videos. Your little girl doing the Lion King song… OMG that is cute!
You’re welcome! It’s so easy and fun to use 🙂 My daughter sings that song in public and it catches people by surprise and cracks ’em up! Thanks so much for stopping by!
i’ve been meaning to do this…thanks for the motivation!!!
You’re welcome! I love your social media tips on your blog…Do you think it’ll hold any weight to other social media platforms like twitter and pinterest?
Stopping by from SITS! I think if I had cute kiddos I might Vine- but nobody wants to see my ugly mug in action 🙂
