This article immediately lost me for calling Vine a "gif sharing app".
I guess if you are super strict on definitions the proper one should be "a short-form video hosting service where users could share six-second-long looping video clips."
Is that your final decision or could I persuade you to give it another opportunity; feedback is always welcomed.
I don't think pointing out that Vine had nothing to do with GIFs (GIFs don't have audio) requires you to be 'super strict on definitions'
Interesting article otherwise though
Thanks!
