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

Analogy: Hammers are stupid, Every time that I use hammer to change a light bulb the bulb breaks.
Nobody should ever use a hammer, for anything.
Or, closer to home,: Libraries are stupid. Almost every book in the library is something that I find boring or offensive.
Nobody should ever use libraries.
The truth is that for an awful lot of people Twitter is very useful, very entertaining, and is probably the single most valued social media platform.
However, like any tool, you need to know when it's the best choice, and use it intelligently.

Try going to home depot only to find that they banned hammers, or nails, or a specific size of nail, or a specific size of drill bit; arbitrarily.
That is why people hate Twitter.

But is it possible to ever have apolitical Twitter? The whole sole purpose of that tool is to show the pulse of society. I propose that any tool which shows the pulse of society is the most important tool to keep the nerves of society under control.
