Vine

I read about Vine last week and it seems awesome. A really cool idea. However all of the APIs are closed so you can't share automatically with Facebook and other social networks so Twitter is playing things very close to its chest. This is a real shame and the antithesis of social networking. Twitter wouldn't have been able to get as popular as it did without some cross-fertilisation from Facebook and MySpace etc. so Twitter pulling the sharing is a real step backwards. Completely foreseeable of course, as that is what they did to Instagram. I'm only bitter as I have an android phone and only iPhones and iOS devices can use it at the moment. As usual, XKCD has it nailed.
