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

    If you look at their Insights blog, according to their own numbers, a huge chunk of people just watch collections of gifs, especially women.

    The only person I knew who used Vine was a rather perverted indigenous Mexican ex-girlfriend from Oaxaca [wikipedia.org] who used it to see what kinds of filthy gay sex her male homosexual friends were getting into.

    Especially her dark-skinned friend who was known by the nickname "Indio Joto."
