The 10 Best Vines of the Week: Inchworms and Inspiration
Can't keep up with the rapidly-exploding Vine craze? Now that the app is available on nearly every smartphone, we'll be your one-stop shop for each week's 6-second masterpieces, be they from newcomers on the scene or established Vine geniuses.
It's been a busy week for Vine. Between revealing new features and dealing with competiton from Facebook (which aren't mutually exclusive), Vine has been at the forefront of innovation for a while now, and shows no signs of slowing down. Small businesses and even schools are starting to use the app for low budget advertising with the potential to reach thousands, and one user captured a mind-blowing image of the protests in Brazil.
