Twitter’s co-founder Jack Dorsey has a little problem: he can’t stay out of the public eye. It’s one of those billionaire problems you’ll never understand.
And this is one of those ‘invasion of privacy’ posts you’ll hate yourself for reading.
Twitter announced yesterday that its long-awaited Vine app for Android is now available.
Read on for the lowdown on what features the app has, including one that’s unique to Android (iPhone users, prepare to seethe with jealousy).

Strangely, I’ve covered social media marriage proposals twice here on AllTwitter in the last five months.
Here’s another to add to the list: Curt Buthman, an L.A. business consultant, used Vine to propose to girlfriend Marsha Collier on Tuesday night.
One of the highlights of AllThingsD’s “D: Dive Into Mobile” conference in April was Twitter product head Michael Sippey’s 1-on-1 with Peter Kafka about Vine.
AllThingsD just released the full video of the conversation, and it is definitely worth a watch.
The Twitterverse has already seen its first live-tweeted open-heart surgery, and even a live-tweet of a brain surgery.
But a surgical operation had never before been live-Vined – until last Thursday.
The staff of BuzzFeed FWD recently conducted an unscientific study to assess what’s changed about Vine since its launch in January.
Their finding? The teens have taken over, turning Vine into “Snapchat in public.”
Yes, we’re bringing you news of yet another cool job posted at Twitter.
If you love nothing more than creating and watching Vines, that won’t qualify you for this job, but combine that enthusiasm with actual expertise and you might have a shot!
But please note, there’s one desired qualification that we’re guessing is pretty important: They want someone “hilarious.”
Online is playground for wiseasses. Twitter knows this (how could it not?) and now, by extension or osmosis or what have you, so does Vine.
And the six-second video maker just released an update that demonstrates its complete ninja-like mastery of this knowledge. Yep, this feature is going to make you stop and try Vine right this second, if you haven’t already. Even savvy businesses will love this new ability because it just makes too much sense: The ability to shoot front-facing videos.
Can you hear the people practicing in front of their phones right now? Because they are.
Following on the heels of the Shorty Awards’ involvement of Vines comes the Tribeca Film Festival’s official stamp of approval for these uber-popular 6-second video loops.
The film fest this year challenged people to use Twitter’s Vine app to create 6-second films — with a “beginning, middle and end” — for a special #6SecFilms contest.
And the 40 finalists have been released.
