Vine closed : Giphy looks at the hot body – ZDNet France

Vine, the precursor to the live sharing of video of 6 seconds is going to down the curtain in the "next coming months" while the web site will remain active for an indefinite period to allow a access to archived video. This closure raises a lot of attention due to the success of Vine.

as Well, the giant X online PornHub has said that he is interested in a buyout even though the declaration looks more like a publicity stunt. Other opportunistic, the site Giphy that is well known for its search engine for GIF’s that come now sprinkling massively chat conversations of internet users.

Giphy offers a new tool to easily convert videos Vine into GIF. They will lose their sound, but the GIF will be stored by the user.

The idea is, of course, to recover a share of the millions of users of Vine, the use of this tool is conditioned to open the account on Giphy.

Remember that no official reason was given to explain the closure of Vine. But we do know that the service has never developed a model of monetization and the growth of its audience seemed to mark the not. Especially, Twitter, which is currently going through a delicate phase, comes to announce layoffs and decide to choice dramatic in its activities to try to find the path to profitability. Vine has without doubt the cost of this pragmatism, and a competition in the form of “copied-pasted” fierce.

Still, Giphy has no robust economic model…
