Vine Has Been Taken Over By Teens
Author:
The Teens Have Spoken. And they like Vine.
Vine doesn’t break down user numbers, much less demographics. And if you visit Vine today, it's hard to tell what's changed since it came out in January. The people I follow post a little less, and they're a little better at it. But otherwise it's pretty much the same deal.
But if you visit Vinepeek, a site that pulls in random Vines as they're posted, you'll find that a lot has changed. It's completely and utterly dominated by teens — teens at school, teens teasing each other, teens screaming, teens smoking weed, teens teening. It's horrifying.
FWD's staff monitored Vinepeek for an accumulated 20 minutes, taking note of the apparent ages of the users. We watched 152 vines, which broke down as follows:
- 103 teens
- 24 non-teens
- 25 unidentifiable ages
In our (admittedly small) sample, teens accounted for over 80% of Vines. Some factors may have skewed our number: time of day (about 4:30 p.m. EST); day of the week (Wednesday); or some hidden quirk in Vinepeek’s mechanics.
But this is most definitely a huge shift from the early days of Vine. The day Vinepeek came out, I described the experience like this:
In the span of a few minutes, I saw a poorly attended church concert (above), a dance party from somewhere in East Asia, a jump-edited children's karate class, and a skit a man created about the terrible feeling of opening a refrigerator, hungry, and finding nothing you want to eat. In another, a father asked his young son what was on his mind. After pausing for a couple seconds the son blurted out, “I love you.” Another user, three videos later, had filmed the toilet while he took a piss.
Today, FWD Deputy editor Charlie Warzel counted four instances of teen twerking and three vocalizations of “fuck school.” The teens have seized Vine. It's like Snapchat in public.
This won't affect most adult Vine users, who will still only see videos from people they follow. Likewise, the fact that Instagram skews young doesn't affect my Instagram experience at all. Plus, tech companies covet young people, so this is probably a good thing for Vine.
But it's jarring nonetheless. If you've been wondering what Vine, Twitter's strange six-second video app, is for, now you know: teens taking videos of themselves between class.

This is the Modem World: Nothing is new. It’s been done before.
Author: Randy Miller
Each week Joshua Fruhlinger contributes This is the Modem World, a column dedicated to exploring the culture of consumer technology.
It’s funny how things come back around. When I was growing up in the ’80s, music was looking back at the ’50s and ’60s and re-creating it into some of the best bands the world has seen. Paul Weller wouldn’t have become the songwriter he is had he not grown up on the Beatles. Likewise, Paul McCartney wouldn’t have become the genius that he is had he not been raised on Little Richard. And now, bands are looking back at the ’80s and re-doing that explosive era – with both good and bad results that I will not go into here lest I make new enemies.
Culture is cyclical, and we’re beginning to see that technology is bound to follow that same rinse-and-repeat formula.

Farmer Discovers The Rock He’s Been Using As A Ham Press The Last 30 Years Is Actually A $5-Million Meteorite
Author: Janet Odell
Spanish farmer Faustino Asensio Lopez discovered an unusual 220-lb iron rock while inspecting his fields in 1980. So what did he do? What anybody else would, used it as a ham press to smash meat for the next 30 years. Space hams, bro.
Then in 2011 he saw a TV program about meteor showers in Spain, and wondered if his ham press might have actually come from space.
Now after extensive analysis by geologists, it has been determined that Lopez’s ham press is actually a pre-historic metallic meteorite, with a value somewhere north of $ 5 million.
I wonder if Faustino was happy to discover he was rich, or pissed because he could have been rich 30 years ago. Because I would have been the latter. What can I say, I’m a half glass empty kind of guy. But to my credit, I am double-fisting.
Thanks to Mitch and Pau, who would have used it as a doorstop.

Open webOS ported to the Nexus 7, gives us the Touchpad Go that might have been (video)
Author: Jesus Sargent
At least a few enthusiasts were gutted when HP exited webOS hardware prior to the Touchpad Go can even have the distinction of a news release. WebOS Harbors’ Simon Busch can’t resurrect HP’s miniature tablet strategies, but he can give us an inkling of what we missed with his brand-new alpha port of Open webOS for the Nexus 7. The conversion is surprisingly complete given its basis on a related Galaxy Nexus edition: along with supporting core functionality like the accelerometer and WiFi, it at last cuts the cord and works separately of a COMPUTER connection. The only clear defect is periodic lag. We ‘d still be careful with a rough construct of an OS that wasn’t ever meant for Google’s tablet; if that’s no barrier, however, the Nexus 7 port is the next-best method to relive HP’s initial vision for 2011.
