The year of the Vine
Who said no one would ever use Vine thanks to Instagram video? Well eat your heart out because the Today Show didn’t get the memo. Twitter teamed up with the show to bring a Vine booth to the red carpet. The camera captured 360-degree loops of celebrity fashion and the videos are hosted on the Globe’s official Vine account. Celebrities and other Globe attendees were also sharing their Vines from the night. Insta-what was that?
