Instagram’s new video service isn’t so instant
As many tech industry news sites predicted, Facebook-owned Instagram launched it’s video service this week.
However as CNET reports, it’s a bit of an apples to oranges comparison with the popular Vine, owned by Twitter. Instagram video offers 15 seconds, filters and no looping or touch manipulation. Vine offers 6 seconds, no filters and near immediate upload and publishing.
Here’s a list of some of the first brands using Instagram video from Adage including Burberry, General Electric, Michael Kors and lululemon.
As an experiment, I’ve been trying to make an Instagram video summarizing this week’s story sources, but after 5 minutes, my phone is STILL processing.
Let me know if you like that idea or I might try doing a 15 second roundup talking about the week’s news as an alternative.
