During the weekend Elon Musknow owner Twitter, asked his followers if you want to see rWay out of Vine. I mean, of course, the extinct video platform Twitter. He had a moment of huge popularity a few years ago, although he later collapsed completely due to poor management.
Well, according to Axios, Elon Musk has already decided to resurrect Vine. The aforementioned medium comments that the manager has tasked the Twitter engineering team with getting to work on the comeback of Vine. Even more surprising: he plans to return this year.
Is it possible? With only a couple of months left until 2022, this clearly looks difficult. Elon Musk’s idea was to have engineers build on Vine’s source code, which would save a lot of time since they didn’t have to start from scratch. However, a source close to Axios mentions that even if you go back to the code, it takes a lot of work. Therefore, it is difficult to think that they will be able to launch it in a short period of time.
We must remember that Vine was born as an independent platform. It wasn’t until 2012 that Twitter opened the portfolio to buy in an attempt to expand its video content. Since then, the company, then led by Jack Dorsey, has struggled to make its new product profitable. Vine began to decline, and it was in 2016 that Twitter decided to shut it down “for good”..
“Thank you to all the creators for taking the risk with this app in the past. To the many team members who have made this what it was over the years, thank you for your input. And, of course, thanks to everyone who came to watch and laugh every day,” Vine said in a farewell message.
Who would have thought that six years later, Elon Musk would buy Twitter and then return Vine? Surely no one…
Development…
