Things are not going well for Twitter. In recent weeks, many rumors have been published about the possible interest of several companies in taking over the microblogging company, but finally each and every one of them the bid has been withdrawn citing problems with trolls circulating on Twitter and that the company tries to avoid adding new blocking functions and features to prevent this type of people from being an impediment to increasing the number of users, users that have not grown for several quarters and that is set at just over 300 million.

The lack of profitability has forced the company to announce the dismissal of 9% of the workforce, which will affect about 350 people with the sole purpose of reducing costs. But in addition, the bird company has announced that it will close the 6-second loop video service Vine, a company that it bought in 2012, but which hit the market in early 2013. Vine allows users to capture videos and share them with a maximum duration of 6 seconds, allowing them to be shared through Facebook or Twitter. At the moment we do not know when the effective closing will be made, scheduled for a few months from now.

Thank you. Thank you. To all the creators, thank you for giving this app a try back in the day. On behalf of all the team members, thank you very much and of course to all the users who use the application on a daily basis.

Twitter plans They go through leaving the web intact for the videos to remain available to download by all users. When the closing date of the service is decided, Twitter will send an email to all users so that they can make the corresponding backup of all the videos that have been uploaded to the platform in recent years.
