Today, on Social networks, it is common for people to share more than ten seconds of Short Video taken on their mobile phones. The originator of this Short Video service is an American application called Vine. Unfortunately, on Thursday, Twitter, the originator of the U.S. microblogging service, announced that it would close its Vine product.

According to US media reports, Vine allows people to shoot six-second Short Video and then quickly share them on Social networks. Thursday is a sad day for Vine fans.

Twitter did not announce a specific date for shutting down the service, only mentioning that it "will be shut down in the next few months." Twitter said Vine's official website will still be operational so that users can continue to view Short Video taken in the past.

In addition, users can also download Short Video uploaded in the past during this period. Twitter said that if the website and software are about to be closed, users will be notified in time.

After Vine invented the Short Video model, a trend of cloning emerged in the United States and even around the world. Many social networking sites also began to allow users to shoot videos with a length of 15 seconds or 30 seconds and upload them to the Internet.

Short Video with a length of seconds are completely different from YouTube videos and Netflix's film and television drama videos in terms of content performance and user experience. They mainly share the user's mood or what he sees and thinks at a certain moment. This video function has also been welcomed by many netizens.

Twitter is currently in chaos. Previously, the company actively sought to transfer its website, but a large number of companies that were considered interested in the past, such as Google, Apple, Disney, and Salesforce, gave up acquiring Twitter. Faced with the company's external transfer, some employees simply refused to go to work.

On Thursday, Twitter also announced a restructuring plan that will cut 9 percent of its workforce. However, it is not yet possible to confirm whether Vine's development team is also being laid off.

Vine's service was first launched in 2013, but this Short Video service did not have any technical originality. Soon, similar services were launched on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, etc., and Vine disappeared from the market. In addition, some Internet celebrities who relied on Vine's Short Video to make a blockbuster later moved to other social platforms.
