It has been revealed today that Twitter has acquired the video clip
service Vine, that never actually launched their new new video clipping
service service as a public release.
As rumours have suggested
over the past month the acquisition of Vine seems to point towards
Twitter moving to compete and maybe replacing third-party Twitter
options such as TwitVid, Posterous, and Mobypicture.
New
start-up Vine launched earlier this year in June and currently has only
three employees, however no official information has been released by
Twitter or Vine, revealing details of the acquisition.
Both
companies have been contacted regarding the new acquisition, and as
always we will keep you updated as more official information surfaces.
