Vine - 6 second videos, meaningful?

                   


              Lately these day there a popular trend where you see someone record a video showing their ownself within 6 sec. This trends are so appealing to younger generation. Why do it have to be 6 sec, what can you show to the audience within that 6 sec and most importantly, is it worth it to watch it? it a social network website that called Vine, this social network only allow you to record the video within 6 sec.

                  The vine user enjoy it very much because of how the video were so short but you can pack plenty of action and content within that 6 sec. It also require creativity and expert at editing process so it can become interesting. These 6 sec managed to make you laughing out loud and addict to the video duration concept as it shorter but also meaningful. The interface of vine also stand out from the other social network because you only need to scroll down to see the next video without the needs of pressing the play button, the videos will autoplay itself.

                   From our opinion, the 6 sec concept were so good to be true because there are no social network that have these kind of gimmicks. It managed to grab new users from these gimmick and make them want to try record a video of these 6 sec concept too.

                    Sadly, we realize that Vine also have a flaw in terms of privacy and how it reflect our societies image. As you already know, Vine are not for Malaysian people only. Being so overreact , offensive and sometimes racist may cause other country to think badly about us, Malaysian. Secondly, the privacy are not so secure as you post the videos to public which expose you to any danger or threat  and also potentially cause some stalker and stranger to steal your video and save to their own harddisk for their own personal evil intention. If you never see a Vine videos then please do so. Here I compile two Vines video as one is in english and the other ones is in malay.
