Hey Adrian, Fred, co-founder here. Yeah, our docs need some love :) It's totally seamless, so as soon as you run a test we allocate (multiple) human testers automatically and your results come back within 30 mins on average. The median

The difference is that because we're using Rainforest in our build process we cannot deploy if Rainforest itself doesn't work... so it's a bit more 'extreme' than regular dogfooding.

The problem with this kind of argument is that it is based on an inherently sexist worldview - that attractive women are good for nothing more than being attractive. Which is obviously bullshit. Also I don't know where you all work but

You are EVERYthing that is wrong with startups. I would advise you to quit criticising the audacity of a team that is trying to change the world for the better. How many startups can legitimately say that?!

Since most people scan left-to-right you'd probably be better putting your main headline and signup box on the left and the 'reasons' on the right. Even better would be to make the headline and strapline standalone, because at the moment th

Yeah it is an interesting choice. I may be wrong, but when I saw the first Vines shared by Kevin Rose on twitter they were without sound. I think it was a conscious effort to differentiate themselves from gifs, and all the internet baggage

It's really not about just capturing what's in front of you. That's easy, you can do that with the built in Camera. The only thing this app adds is some sugar around that experience. The crux of why video isn't like photo is that editing

I don't think they can, no. But twitter didn't build vine, they acquired it. Can twitter and Facebook acquire the next big thing? Sure :)

It can also be beautiful though, sound is just another texture to work with. The thing that comes to mind are Wes Anderson's many 'breakfast sequences' where he shows preparation in jump cut 'vine' style

Do you have anything to back this up? Articles etc? I heard lack of liquidity was the issue

It's a relative term. Vine launched what, a week ago, and already all of us know about it.

Nothing in the post implies I support this self-curation. I don't. Also, the quotes around 'creative' are instructive.

I'd love to see some data that supports what you're saying

by fredsters_s 14y ago
AFAIK no, it was in a fairly late (pre-launch) beta stage before being acquired, and raised a seed round from GV among others (hence Kevin Rose posting Vines when it was still in private beta).

Totally agree. I'm surprised that Twitter didn't. I wonder what the story behind that is

It's just tacky. If I know anything about Dorsey it's that he's allergic to tacky

by fredsters_s 14y ago
Interesting question. I'm not sure - it doesn't seem intuitively like Twitter / Dorsey (as far as i can tell Vine is Dorsey's pet project) would stoop to that kind of stuff.

by fredsters_s 14y ago
One point I didn't explicitly make in the post: Vine is not about gifs, it's about video.
