Elon Musk wants to bring back Vine (and polled users agree)
The rumour mill and shakeup surrounding Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition continues to churn. This time around, Twitter's new owner wants to bring back its looping video app Vine. Axios cites multiple sources that Musk has ordered engineers at the company to reboot Vine before the year ends. He's tasked engineers to look at the app's old code base, which hasn't been maintained or updated since the service shut down in 2016.
According to one source, this would need "a lot of work." A tweet from a former Vine staffer, Sara Beykpour, advises it would be better for them to start over. And it is sound advice with possible API changes, security concerns, and other elements that need maintenance.
