The website version of Vine takes cue from mobile and adds a search bar and a set of discovery features. The search bar is similar to that of Google and is placed in the center of the page. Moreover, Vine for web also gets playlists, featured videos, channels, trending tags, and a dedicated section for “popular now” videos. All these features can be accessed via ‘Explore’ page. Videos from more than 12 channels ranging from sports to comedy can be chosen.
Users can also watch feeds in TV Mode, a seamless viewing mode introduced with the launch of Vine’s website. The latest move comes from Vine as it competes strives to compete with one of its biggest competitor, YouTube. Last month the service added direct message to iOS along with few other features.
