The intern who decided to add videos to Instagram either deserves a two week paid vacation or maybe just a lawsuit. Instagram and Vine are both relatively user-friendly applications available on most mobile devices. The two distinct differences between them, however, is that Instagram once only allowed their users to post pictures while Vine allows the user to post videos. During the uprising of Vine’s popularity, a huge announcement from Instagram’s staff surfaced, stating that a new video function would be available to all users.
It might just be me, but I feel like this was a smart move on Instagram’s part, but maybe even a little mischievous. After all, the main use for Vine is its video feature. Nonetheless, the reception of Instagram’s new feature was positive and proved to be a smashing success. There are, however, many devoted users of Vine that stick with the original app they’ve grown to love. Between Instagram and Vine, I personally find Instagram more useful because of its simple interface and ability to post images as well as videos.
