RIP Vine. Only a couple of short weeks after we announced the demise of Meerkat, another video app has taken a dive. The platform where users can share six-second-long looping videos was founded in 2012 and snapped up by Twitter prior to its official launch. Vine became a hotbed of creativity that Twitter attempted to tap for potentially lucrative brand partnerships. Last year, it even bought talent agency Niche to help manage them. Much of this talent has been tempted away to YouTube and Snapchat, but was it this alone that killed Vine? Let's find out with the latest issue of Sociable Folktales.
