Vine, the short video social network, aims to be this year's star app

I came for iOS

Many of you may have already heard of wine. It is an application created by the people of Twitter that can become the new success in terms of social networks of the year 2013. There are many who have already baptized it as the Instagram of the videos. The idea is simple, share with your contacts 6 second videos.

Twitter made the announcement recently and at the moment the application is only available on iOS and concretely optimized for iPhone. You can install it on iPad but it will look pretty bad. They say that Android will arrive soon and optimization for tablets may not wait on both platforms, since many of them carry excellent cameras.

Once we open an account with an email or by linking our Twitter account. We can find contacts both in the phone book and through Twitter and Facebook itself.

Inside the application we see a video feed and when we move through it timeline the sound of the video we're on is loops as a GIF. The sound only sounds when we are on the video.

We can follow people within the application to access videos of our interest. We can indicate that we liked the video, make a comment about it.

We can also upload videos so that people who follow us can see them. A 6-second video is recorded from the phone's camera and then uploaded to the network. We can also use a small editing tool that allows us to select sections of a longer video until they add up to only 6 seconds, which results in a kind of effect stop motion. Simply, When we touch the screen, it records and when not, it stops recording. So until you fill the 6 seconds. Once you have the video, if you want to share it, you can post it on Twitter or Facebook and of course you can add hashtags and whatever you want as a presentation.

To explore videos of others we can search by tags, by friends or look at the editor's recommendations or the most popular videos that would be the equivalent of the trending topic. Be careful, all videos are public, so people will be able to find the videos you have uploaded if they use the right search criteria.

If you want to see how the videos look, you can go to this website that constantly brings what the people are uploading to Vine.

You can download the app on iTunes for free.
