It’s been around less than a year, but the\u00a0Twitter-owned mobile app Vine<\/a> is already a big\u00a0success.\u00a0Yes, even bigger than\u00a0beer made from beard yeast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vine\u00a0lets users\u00a0create\u00a0six-second video clips\u00a0and then\u00a0share those clips on\u00a0Twitter and other social media sites. In fact it’s been such a hit that\u00a0Facebook-owned Instagram quickly pounced on the premise and\u00a0unveiled its\u00a0own video app which offers a number of enhanced editing features<\/a>. Of course\u00a0Vine has returned\u00a0with a\u00a0counterpunch<\/a>, but still,\u00a0there’s something about those six brief seconds…\u00a0the looping playback…\u00a0and\u00a0the creative constraints of Vine\u00a0that piqu\u00e9s our curiosity.<\/p>\n

\nSo what works on Vine? And can you leverage this quick-hitting video service to boost your business? The answer to the latter question is yes. But the former? Well, as you’ll see from this\u00a0list of the\u00a0five most shared Vines (through May 9th, as compiled by Unruly<\/a>), youth\u00a0pop culture rules. Three of the five clips feature the British boy band One Direction, another is by\u00a0rapper Tyler the Creator, and the lone non-music related Vine\u00a0is from a user named Doug who\u00a0simply\u00a0aimed his phone at a\u00a0TV newscast when it was showing\u00a0an infamous scene\u00a0from the Boston marathon bombing. (Pro Tip: Hover over the video to find the mute\/unmute button in the upper left, and clicking on the video starts and stops it)<\/p>\n
