Vine was launched just over five months ago, but the six second looping videos have already been adopted across government to help distribute news and information to constituents across the United States.
From the President to Congress to local government, the video sharing service is being used by agencies and officials everywhere to get their message across in six seconds.
Senators and Representatives were early adopters, producing Vines since February – just a month after the launch. The White House published its first Vine just two months later, on April 13, 2013.
This is just a small selection of some of the first to use the platform.
