Since over a month when Twitter launched it’s new application Vine,, we have heard a lot about it. This is social video sharing like You tube, but the new thing is this app lets you record and share videos on twitter, facebook and on the page itself.

Vine Vine is the incorporation of the video in the Twitter’slanguage, is comparable to instagram, but in this case instead photos, it uses videos.
This new application allows users to record and share short films, a maximum of 6 seconds, with or without sound. The video run continuously, at the end of each video it automatically repeats again from the beginning.
How do I make the video?
Recording this videos is simple, the only limitations are, first download the application and right now It’s only available in the iTunes App Store for devices that work with iOS operating system, but will soon be available for other systems, can only use 140 characters per tweet and of course the 6 seconds of video length.

But how a short playback images can be used as a marketing tool. The video is used as visual storytelling, related to the concept of branding and engagement but off course simplifying the message. We must be able to present our story with only six seconds of image.
As popular wisdom says «a picture is worth a thousand words», with our short videos created with imagination and ingenuity, we can offer an accurate, simple image, showing only what we thnk it id importsnt to the audience.
