Vine was founded by Dom Hofmann, Rus Yusupov, and Colin Kroll in June 2012. Months later the Byte app was re-launched as Clash, which was eventually re-branded as Huddles. The Byte app was acquired by Clash a year later on January 26, 2021. Vine's co-founder Dom Hofmann created a successor that was called Byte (not affiliated with Twitter) which launched on January 24, 2020. The archive was officially discontinued in April 2019. On January 20, 2017, Twitter launched an online archive of every Vine video that had ever been published. On October 27, 2016, Twitter announced that it would disable all uploads, but that viewing and download would continue to work. By December 2015, Vine had over 200 million active users. Vine competed with other social media services such as Instagram and Snapchat. The Vine app was also used to browse videos, along with a group of videos that were uploaded by theme, and hoping that users could "trend" videos. Videos published on Vine's social network could also be shared on different social networking platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. in 2012 before its launch, the service was shut down on Janu and the app was discontinued a few months later. It was originally launched on January 24, 2013, by Vine Labs, Inc. Vine was an American short-form video hosting service where users could share six-second-long looping video clips.
