Photovine – What’s It All About? – Check Out This Explanation Video
Photovine is a community that’s about creating fun and unique collections of photos that Google, the developers, call Vines. In Photovine, vines connect you with people through the ideas and themes expressed in your photos. A vine is like a constantly growing family of photos connected through a common caption created by you, your friends, and people all over the world.
Some examples of vines could be: "What Weekends Are Made Of", "Secret Stuffed Animal", "Party People" or "Love of My Life". As people add photos to vines, they tell their own stories about the moments, images, and ideas that define our lives in a way that’s social, creative, and fun.
Start a vine by taking a photo and creating a new caption, or add to an existing vine. Other people will see your vine and join in by adding their own photo, showing their own take on the caption.
If you’re still unsure as to what it actually means to you – check out the video below – it starts to make a lot more sense.
If you’d like to try Photovine for yourself, you can download it here, it’s free.
