What’s The Buzz?
- How are you using Vine to enhance your blogging?
To what degree do we use Vine (or Instagram)? As with many things, it often comes down to a case of those who use it love it and those who do not, either haven't discovered a love for it, or don't find it useful. Which group appeals to you?
To follow someone who has great ideas for how to use Vine, check out @mommyt3aches on Vine. Read through the archive (slideshow, above) to read some of her cool ideas!

- Instagram recently added video. What pros and cons have you experienced so far with the change?
Some great pros/cons were shared. Some that are not as self-evident, but certainly very helpful to those who have not experienced Vine (and/or Instagram) and are considering the platform(s).
A3: I like the length, lack of auto-play & looping, & filters. Also, easy to embed in WP. Cons? Hmm, have to think. #SocialCafe #TBW— Kavita Chintapalli (@kavita1010) July 24, 2013 | A3 I love the quick short videos. less blabbing like on YouTube, but youtube is easier to find content. @socialwebcafe #socialcafe #tbt— Beautyaddixion (@beautyaddixion) July 24, 2013 |
