WORLD STARRRR

World star hip hop is a video blogging site that averages a total of 1.1 millions views per day. Although some of the content is kind of sketchy the website Alexa 983rd for worldwide traffic. It all started as a hip hop site in queens to appeal to hip hop fans world wide. But ten years later it became "The CNN of ghetto." The website posts fights, brawls, robberies, twerk videos. You name it world star has it. But despite all the fucked up content it has to offer, World Star can display the truth behind underprivileged living, and the struggles that come with that culture. At the end of the day, World Star Hip Hop is going to keep blowing up, and until the world will become less shitty, shitty content will exist on the internet

The Impact of Vine

As most of you guys know, there's this app called Vine. Vine is a little app that allows any smart phone user to create and share 6-second looping videos on Twitter, Facebook, Vine, and other places. Since it's release on January 23, 2013 Vine has exploded in popularity. It was originally just for iPhones, but it has since branched out to all other smart phone platforms like Android and Windows phone. Vine was first created and founded by Dom Hofmann, Rus, Yusupow, and Colin Kroll in June of 2012 and the company was acquired by Twitter in October of 2012.

Vine is an immensely popular app for a few reasons. First of all, Vines are very easy to make. It uses the camera in your phone so it is accessible. It also features the touch and record process. You touch the screen for the duration you want to record and all you have to do to stop recording is let go of the screen. This makes is easy to use for even the most novice videographers (or Viners). This technology also makes it easy to make stop motion videos. All you have to do is just tap the screen for the duration of the video and there you have it!



This app is also immensely popular for viewing purposes because the videos are so short. You don't have to invest a great amount of time to watch a vine since they are only 6 seconds long. They also loop so you don't even have to click replay if you missed something in the last 6 seconds. This makes it perfect for people to get out their short stories and it is even now being used for news and marketing. The possibilities for this little app are endless. It is just the start and I can't wait to see where it goes.
