This post was written by Lori Phillips, Digital Marketing Content Coordinator. As one half of the social media team, Lori's responsible for what you see on the museum's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, blog (this very one!)...and now Vine.
As a multi-tasking parent, you can probably get a lot done in six seconds—and Vine can too! Twitter launched Vine as a short-form video-sharing app that creates looping, six-second videos. It's like 140 character Tweets...but with video! We know you're always trying to capture your kids' hilarious moments, and Vine is a great tool to do just that. Have you given Vine a try?
Here on the digital team, we like to try out the latest social media trends, and Vine is no exception. You can follow the museum by searching for @childrensmuseum. (You can also click the linked URL if you're on your smartphone.)
So far our Vine adventures have included things like Rex dancing...Bumblebee transforming...and more!
But we're not the only museum on Vine. Here's a list of our favorite museums, zoos, and aquariums that are actively posting videos. To follow, just search for the name within the app...
