Micro blogging site Twitter, has just launched a new version of their Vine video-sharing app. This time it is aimed squarely at children. The Vine Kids app promises to filter out any inappropriate content. Vine Kids has initially launched for iOS and it will provide a feed of “hand-selected” six-second videos that loop from Vine’s community. The videos will contain no swearing or other forms of adult content in order to keep kids entertained, yet safe. To make the app appealing to kids there has been an addition of animated characters to host the app. In a recent blog post announcing the new app, Vine’s Carolyn Penner wrote, “We’ve seen for ourselves – and heard from parents, siblings and others – that kids love Vine…The idea came about during an office conversation in early January. One of my colleagues was talking about how much his two-year-old daughter loves Vine – he said he wished there was a separate app she could use to more easily watch posts that are appropriate for kids.”
