Musk vill att Twitters utvecklare återupplivar Vine

Vine was an American short-form video hosting service where users could share six-second-long looping video clips. It was founded in June 2012; American microblogging website Twitter acquired it in October 2012 before its official release on January 24, 2013. Videos published on Vine's social network could also be shared on different social networking platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. The Vine app was also used to browse videos, along with a group of videos that were uploaded by theme, and hoping that users could "trend" videos. Vine competed with other social media services such as Instagram and Pheed. By December 2015, Vine had over 200 million active users. On October 27, 2016, Twitter announced that it would disable all uploads, but that viewing and download would continue to work. On January 20, 2017, Twitter launched an Internet archive of every Vine video that had ever been published. The archive was officially discontinued in April 2019. As of 2022, the service was closed and put into an "archival state".In December 2017, co-founder Dom Hofmann announced that he was beginning to work on Vine's successor, Byte (now Huddles), which he said was not affiliated with Twitter. After buying Twitter in October 2022, billionaire Elon Musk hinted at bringing back the app.
