Embed Vine videos directly on the Web

Twitters short video sharing service Vine has received a small “social” update. Vine which was released around two months ago by Twitter, let users record short six second video clips which could then be tweeted to their followers. Earlier users could only embed tweets with Vines,but Twitter has added more functionality to the service now.

Vine app for iPhone

Users can now embed the Vine videos themselves directly on the web or on blogs. You can either copy the embed code from a video’s vine.co URL or alternativelyyou can find it in the share menu of the updated Vine app for the iPhone. The updated app also now lets you share to other social networks like Facebook or email the embed link to share it on your blog. Users can also share Vines created by other users, provided the original clip has been shared outside of Vine on Facebook or Twitter. Vine videos can be embedded in two styles, simple and postcard with a choice of various resolutions. Simple embeds the Vine clip without any border and just shows the description and user name when you hover the mouse pointer over it. The postcard view on the other hand features a card format similar to a Tweet.

Vine is still restricted to iOS users only. You can grab the app from the download  link below. Do share the links to some of your creative Vines with us here.
