INSTAGRAM OR VINE??
While I was reading the blog What would you rather use-Instagram OR Vine? from Techacker by Anurag Bansal, my fascination with the two apps made me question which one was the best. I certainly have spent an incredible amount of time on both apps, and know what both of them offer. I agree with some stuff Bansal blogged about, however my opinion of the two apps is definitely different.
Instagram, was an app for uploading pictures with the option to edit them and add hashtags, but just this year, Instagram has added a new function where you can post 15 second video clips. Not long ago even, they've added the function where you can pick any video that's saved on your phone, and upload them after you have trimmed it to 15 seconds or less. Once you have downloaded the video you can choose from 13 different filters or upload it as normal.Vine, however, is specially made just for videos. You can upload 6 second videos, where it will keep playing them over and over again to the viewers. Just like instagram, you can find different types of vidoes by using hashtags.
Personally, I use Instagram for posting videos more than I have used Vine, however Vine has definitely filled up my wall on Facebook with funny 6 second videos. I think both of them serve good purposes, but if I had to choose between them I would pick Instagram.Vine is where I go to if I want to find funny videos or I could just log on to Facebook, and go on the Vine page, which doesn't serve the app much of a purpose, in my case. Instagram, however, is where I can scroll through pictures/video feeds from my friends and family. I think adding the ability to upload videos instead of just pictures on Instagram has improved the app, and the only thing I would change is the short lag to play them.
What are your opinions? Which one do you prefer?
