Although there were already rumors about the approach of the social network Vine to the web, the news did not come until a few hours ago , and in a much more extensive way than was known at first. And it is that the videos of six seconds and loop format have made the leap to web pages to enjoy them from the comfort of a computer, although with some limitations . Thus, Vine remains predominantly a social network for smartphones and tablets, but being able to enjoy its contents also when in front of a computer.
This is confirmed in their official blog, where they give the details of this expansion to the web. And it is that the jump is not total, there are limitations that, on the other hand, ensure the essence and habitual functioning of Vine The most remarkable thing is that the user cancheck your feed or wall to see the latest videos from the users you follow. In this way you do not need to use your device to see the latest publication, enjoying the same format and features.
So much so that it is even possible to pause playback by clicking on the video, give like (smiley icon) and even revinear or share such videos. Something very similar to what happens in the contents of Instagram that can also be seen on the web.Along with all this there are also the comments, being able to use the comfort of a full physical keyboard to offer any assessment about the content. Although there are other issues.
These are the user profiles, which are finally also on the web. This means being able to access all the contents of the same profile by clicking on their name or by typing their address in the browser bar. In addition, on this page it is possible to know the number of contents published, the number of people that user follows and also the number of followers you have. A real plus is being able to follow or unfollow just by pressing the Follow button
But what stands out most about the jump to the Vine website is the exclusive function introduced in this new platform.This is Vine TV, an even more comfortable way to enjoy content from the web. When you press the television icon located in the upper right corner of the screen, all the vines on the wall begin to play automatically, showing their description and user also on screen. One after the other they are shown avoiding the loop effect but jumping to the next one automatically.
In short, a movement that can satisfy many of its users, although it does not mean having all this social network on the web. And it is still it is not possible to record and publish videos from the computer, nor to search for profiles and videos by theme. Issues that, according to the application's official blog, will arrive in 2014, although without specifying which of them or when. For now it is already possible to access the official Vine page, use the user data and enjoy its contents on a larger screen such as a computer .
