Share 6-second videos over Twitter with Vine

After the recent tease, Twitter has now launched Vine. Vine is an app that is only available on the iPhone and the iPod Touch right now, but is expected to come to Android soon enough. It lets users capture and share short looping videos. You can grab the app here.The videos play when a tweet is expanded, and appear like animated GIF images. There is also the option to have sound with the video.
