Facebook Copies Vine

Facebook-owned Instagram will now support very short video clips just like the Twitter-owned Vine.

Instagram’s Kevin Systrom said video clips on Instagram will be 3 to 15 seconds long and include new shaky hand video stabilization technology called Cinema. Instagram now has 130 million users. Systrom: "The frame shown to people is typically the first frame. We think that’s silly. It should be the frame you want to show your friends. You can now choose which frame you want to show up on the Instagram feed. “It’s the same Instagram we know and love. But it moves.”

Instagram clips will not loop endlessly like Vine clips do to the annoyance of many.
