How to Use Vine for Nonprofit Storytelling

We’ve talked about the importance of storytelling and how to do it using things like news cycles, social media, and even Periscope and Meerkat. So now let’s add another tool to your content toolbox. Let’s talk about Vine.

What Is Vine? At its simplest Vine is a video-sharing app. But to understand what it does and how it works, don’t picture minute-long sweeping videos or even live streaming conversations. Picture animated gifs. Because Vine is designed to share very short stories—no longer than six seconds.

Your six seconds of video or images stitched together will then play on a loop. It is important to note that Vine videos cannot be edited. They are shot and then uploaded on the spot.
