Vine hits Google Play, officially announced

We've been hearing for a while that the Vine app for Android is on its way, and it looks like today is finally the day that the app drops into the Google Play Store.Twitter announced its new service named Vine in January, letting you share short looping videos on the popular social network. Back then a Vine app was only available for iOS, but that exclusivity is finally coming to an end. The service, which already has about 13 million active users, has finally been made available for Android.
Vine allows users to shoot and share small clips of looping videos online.  Like the one, you can see embedded later in the post.Vine let users upload a video clip up to 6 seconds directly from their mobile phone that loops automatically.https://v.cdn.vine.co/v/videos/562092F1-EE97-4847-8C92-E812E27BFEF9-34353-000009A29437B020_1.1.2.mp4?versionId=54rgpDuGSk__HdlRkFJ.4hKH3MYBt3.c
