Twitter CEO Elon Musk said on Monday that he would “look into” a way to recover old videos of the micro-blogging site's short-form video application, Vine.
It all started when a user asked Musk, “Will we get our old Vine accounts back?”
To this, the Twitter CEO replied: “Friends have asked me if there's a way to recover their old Vine videos! Will look into it.”
Several users expressed their thoughts on Musk's post.
One user asked:“If Vine was brought back, where do you think it would rank with Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok? How big of a factor would this be in bringing back Vine?” Another said: “Would be epic. Bring back Vine. TikTok killer.”
Last month, Musk posted a poll on the micro-blogging platform, asking users if they think Vine should be brought back, with the caption, “Bring back Vine?”
Vine was a Twitter-owned platform that allowed users to share 6-second looping video clips.
The company shut down the Vine app service in 2016, revamping it into Vine Camera, which allowed users to shoot 6.5-second looping videos.
Twitter acquired Vine in October 2012, and as at 2016, the application had more than 200 million active monthly users.
