The 10 Best Vines of the Week: Fake Feuds & a 'Drag Race' Star
This week was all about teamwork on Vine, whether it was to create a stop motion Vine, help raise environmental awareness, or stage a fake rap duel.
One of the biggest competitive edges Instagram Video has over Vine is the number of users already using the photo app (around 130 million people.) Vine doesn't match that number, but that's not necessarily a bad thing -- a smaller community can aid in a user's visibility and encourage people to form bonds from all over the world, as evidenced this week.
