Originally a photo-sharing service, Instagram that was launched in October 2010, has now added a new feature to their repertoire, video-sharing. It would be surprising if this move wasn't motivated by the success of a service called Vine, that was launched five months ago as a video-sharing service that allows user to post six second looping videos that gives us glimpses of the lives and passions of the user. To illustrate the success Vine has experience in such a short time, just about a month ago on April 9, 2013, Vine became the number one of the most downloaded app available on Apple's App Store.
Now that both Instagram has rolled out their video-sharing service, what does that mean for Vine?
Neither service is going anywhere, companies, organizations, and people are going to choose one or the other. The question I have is, what is the demographic going to be like for each service?
Which Video-Sharing Service do you Prefer?
Some loyal vine users insist they are sticking with Vine no matter what, and I tend to agree with those users. When I start using an app on my iPhone and another similar, more popular app is developed, I find it hard to leave that app for the newer one. But why do we have to choose? Why don't companies stick with what they know or what put them on the map?
Instagram is to photos, what Vine is to looping videos.
Let me know what you think?
