Vine use grows quickly

Vine use grows quickly

One can do almost anything with social networks these days. Pictures and thoughts can be posted or tweeted, but there has not been a popular way to post a video- until now.

Vine is a new app, only available on the Apple App Store, that allows users to record up to six seconds of video to post and share. Many students on campus enjoy recording their everyday life and showing it to their friends.

“I like Vine, it is pretty fun, it seems like just another app,” Brittlestone said.

This app is formatted like the popular photo sharing app Instagram, which allows users to    share pictures. People have begun to dub Instagram as a ‘dead’ fad, and have began to use apps such as Vine and Twitter more often.

“The only reason that I don’t have a Vine yet is because I have just been too lazy to download it,” sophomore Hannah Fields said.

People record Vines on everything from their dog on a walk to their friends at a party. Some students say that there is no way to go wrong with a post. However, some think that Vine videos can get boring and repetitive.

“I like Vine as an app, but sometimes it gets kind of boring,” freshman AnnMarie Barfield said.

Another positive aspect about this app is that it coincides with Twitter. There is an option to tweet your Vine at the same time you post it on Vine.

“Even though I don’t have a Vine, I don’t miss out on much because its always posted on Twitter anyways,” Fields said,

While such things as a slow upload time and a maximum video length of six seconds are negatives for some students, the app is becoming more and more popular.

“People shouldn’t criticize Vine, it is a great social network that is a great way to share short videos,” freshman Darius Moverstizy said.

Julia Vastano
Julia Vastano, Editor-in-chief
In 7th grade Julia signed up for newspaper class on a total whim. To this day she isn’t exactly sure what landed her in Mrs. Sanders 7th period newspaper class. She kind of just went with the flow (which is actually very peculiar for Julia because she usually plans everything at least 3 years in advance) Now she is one of the Editor-In-Chiefs of The Red Ledger so that happened and it’s cool and she likes the gig. Extra Curriculars are a huge part of Julia’s life. So much so she refuses to list them out here for fear of becoming explicitly boring. Her hobbies include dancing, tripping, falling, flailing and anything of that general nature. She wants to major in history or political science and go to law school eventually. Her fantasy career would be a paleontologist because dinosaurs are awesome, but she is more realistically looking into being a lawyer (which yes, she does find to be equally exciting.) Other than all of that, Julia is so super duper excited for the 2015-2016 Red Ledger staff. She is very confident that this year the online news source will kick some booty at something and be really informative. She is even more pumped to work along side the old married couple (also known as the other two amazing Editor-In-Chiefs of The Red Ledger) Jillian and Hallie.
