iOS – Vine App – Updated With New Camera
I had the pleasure of experiencing a Vine demonstration in London many months ago (many thanks @RichardBarley from Twitter HQ for that). Richard is a wonderful man and incredibly enthusiastic about Vine. I have to say I share much of his enthusiam with regards this new update. There’s a new camera that gives you the freedom to create a Vine in any way you want. New camera tools offer additional, more advanced ways to edit your videos, and you can import existing videos from your phone. I’m really looking forward to giving this update a whirl. Vine is a free app and you can download it here.

If you have a Windows phone and would like to give it a whirl, go here.
