Six second short video Vine is a thing of the past, but Musk wants to revive Vine, the founder of short video in the past, after acquiring Twitter.According to Axios, the foreign media, Mask has asked Twitter engineers to evaluate the old Vine code and restart the platform, which is expected to be ready by the end of the year at the earliest.Musk had previously released a survey on Twitter, asking users whether they were interested in bringing Vine back.The result showed that nearly 70% of users voted in favor of reviving Vine.Vine first appeared in January 2013, before which it was acquired by Twitter in 2012 and launched as an independent video sharing application.The New York Times reported that Vine's life under Twitter was very difficult.Due to competition, Vine experienced a sharp rise and decline.With the launch of Instagram video in 2013, Vine was in trouble and it was difficult to retain talents.In 2016, Twitter closed Vine and archived its videos, and then closed its archive in 2019.After Vine left, Instagram continued to upgrade its Reels function and now allows video sharing for up to 90 seconds.YouTube launched similar functions through YouTube Shorts in 2020, while Dom Hofmann, one of Vine's co founders, launched Byte in 2020.One year later, Clash acquired Byte, which is now Huddles.Although not as old as competitors YouTube and Ins, but given the nature of these two services, Tiktok can be said to be the biggest threat to the resurrected Vine.Tiktok said that in 2021, it will have more than 1 billion global active users every month, and the company is still growing.
