The founders departed very early after the acquisition, like Rus and Dom. None of the 'top executives' were ever the original visionaries that created the product to begin with.
It's sort of shocking that after Jack left but hailed back to save Twitter, that the board didn't have more wherewithal to retain the founding team of Vine. Textbook post-acquisition problem.
I agree with other commenters that they should integrate Vine into Twitter. Like Instagram and video (or Facebook and Facebook Live), there's really no reason for it to be separate. Twitter needs better content generation tools at it's core. It's really starting to feel like a washed up RSS aggregator and nothing more.
- Dr_tldr 10y agoYeah, I'd have to agree. At this point, talking about Vine is almost (not yet, but almost) like talking about a subsidiary of Yahoo; whatever the unique problems of the child company, the parent company's dysfunction remains the primary issue.

- intoverflow2 10y ago> they should integrate Vine into Twitter Twitter already does video better than vine though, whats the point?
- pxlpshr 10y agoI guess you made my point. I care very little about Twitter now because their 2016 innovation was turning a star into a heart.
