From the BBC website:

Twitter announced on Thursday that it was cutting 9% of its workforce following slow growth of the social network.

"In the coming months we'll be discontinuing the [Vine] mobile app," the company said in a blog.

When he learned of the change, Rus Yusupov (one of Vine's three co-founders) - tweeted: "Don't sell your company!"

A quick search revealed that it's not just a rumor - it appears to be confirmed

    He suggests that, instead of restrictions on sharing, authors be supported using a tax, with revenues distributed among them based on cubic roots of their popularity to ensure that "fairly successful non-stars" receive a greater share than they do now (compare with private copying levy which is associated with proponents of strong copyright), or a convenient anonymous micropayment system for people to support authors directly.
