Taking on Vine

When I saw the screaming headline on CNN asking whether or not VINE, the new video sharing platform from TWITTER, had a porn problem my first thought was..  this isn't exactly a problem.    Maybe I'm late to the party but the other day while searching for something on Twitter I noticed a number of users who posted nekid pictures online.    Obviously this isn't something I want popping up while I'm sitting at work but while sitting on the can, it's far from a problem

Twitter is apparently making all sorts of apologies blaming human error for posting a six second clip of hard-core porn on their 'editor's choice' section the other day. 

I don't think it's a stretch to think that this was either not the accident they are claiming or that the apology was far from genuine.  We all know that the a new product is dying for publicity and what better than to have a bunch of tech-hungry and sex-starved dorks flooding to your site to download the app.  Just look at how popular the tube sites have become, how many hits the Daily News gets on their wardrobe malfunction pictures and how many people (apparently) are using Twitter to get their rocks off already.

I for one am downloading it as we speak...
