Twitter has today updated its Vine iOS app, bringing with it a new Apple Watch app as well as an improved overall usage experience.

As any Windows Phone user will know, apps tend to take an age before they finally make the jump from iOS / Android, and the ongoing saga with the lack of an official Instagram app is a testament to that fact. Still, following an official announcement of Instagram for Windows Phone a few days back, major rival Vine has come through with an app for Windows Phone, allowing those on Microsoft’s mobile OS to take and share short clips with the world right from their smartphones. The app is now officially available over at the Windows Phone Store, and you can check out the details after the break!

It’s been a big day for Microsoft and its Windows Phone platform. With Nokia releasing a major new handset, and the pair having what can only be called a ‘special relationship’ at this point, both parties will have been at full tilt throughout the day.

When Facebook gave Instagram a new video feature, many claimed that Vine was all but set for the scrap heap. Twitter’s own short video social network – Vine – allows users to take short videos and post them to a Twitter and Instagram-like news feed. Instagram’s addition of video to its already hugely popular photo service has the potential to kill Vine off for good.

As you’re probably aware by now, this week was big for the Facebook-owned social network Instagram. After months of speculation, following the release of Twitter’s Vine video sharing app / service, Instagram finally introduced their competitor to the short six second video network taking the world by storm. What makes this a nice addition, is that it’s a new built-in feature to already existing Instagram app. No new icon needed.

According to a new report, Instagram will be launching video sharing later on this week. Facebook is holding a big idea event on Thursday, June 20th, and with Facebook having been reportedly testing a Vine-esque feature for Instagram not so long ago, it would appear as though those plans are now being put into action.

By means of a press release, Twitter has officially announced Vine, an alternative way for its user base to share video clips through tweets. Twitter’s CEO Dick Costolo gave us a glimpse of the services via his Twitter feed only yesterday, and now it would seem it’s ready for the official roll-out. Currently, its app is only available for those on iPhone and iPod touch, but will be heading to the Google Play Store, as well as the stores of other platforms in the near future. More details after the break!

Microsoft today has unveiled a social networking software + services solution which connects you with your family and friends in the time of calamity. Vine basically takes the concept of “tweeting” on to a whole new level by adding features which micro-blogging services like twitter has been missing.
