The day of reckoning has finally arrived: now is your last chance to download your Vine clips before the service as we know it shuts down.
We’ve known it was coming for a while, but Vine has announced that it will officially be shutting down on January 17.
Twitter has announced that it will discontinue the Vine mobile apps, essentially killing the service, in the coming months.
Twitter is now allowing anyone to upload longer videos to their accounts. The new video length limit is 140 seconds, compared to the older limit of 30 seconds. Twitter's sister app Vine is beta testing a way to upload videos up to 140 seconds as well.

Microsoft has been trying to get more developers to release their apps for the Windows Phone platform, but there's also a problem with major app creators and publishers that don't bother to update them with new features or improvements for months. In a couple of cases, the apps haven't been updated for nearly a year. Microsoft recently revealed a new Developer's Code of Conduct for...
Combine animated GIFs with text messaging in GIF Chat. The app is from Pinger, the creators of the popular free texting and calling app, Textfree.

The calm before the storm. That’s the best way to describe this past week in terms of apps and news for Windows Phone. We had a few big ones come, like Vine, but overall it was a pretty normal week for new apps coming, apps getting updated, and betas. Nonetheless, let’s look back at the highlights from this past week. New Vine – Probably the biggest new app this past week, Vine is...
We have 6 reasons why third-party application, 6sec, is better than the official Vine app for Windows Phone. 6sec has been around since July while the official app just came out on Tuesday. Both have the essential features of viewing and uploading Vine videos, but 6sec comes out on top right now. We have a video comparing these two apps, so go watch it after the break. #1 Cool...
