Vine, the social platform that allowed users to create and post six-second looping videos, could be revived according to a tweet from its co-founder, Dom Hofmann.

Hofmann tweeted out a little teaser last night, the post simply read ‘v2’, with a new logo in the same mint-green colour and bubbly white font as in the original Vine logo.

The news comes after he tweeted at the end of November that he was working on a ‘follow-up’ to the original video App.

“I’m going to work on a follow-up to Vine,” he wrote on November 30.

“I’ve been feeling it myself for some time and have seen a lot of tweets, DMs, etc."

“I’m funding it myself as an outside project, so it doesn’t interfere with the (quite exciting) work we’re doing at the company, which is my first priority....nothing else to share yet, but more as it develops”

As bad as we all want to know what the hell is going on with “V2,” we probably won’t get any answers anytime soon. In the meantime, I've put together a couple questions about Vine 2.0 that just won't leave my mind.

Who will join the platform?

Vine created an entirely new crop of stars, like Jérôme Jarre, Thomas Sanders, and more. A lot of these creators also grew into entrepreneurs, and some made pretty big money for doing six-second advertisements on Vine.

Will these stars flock to V2 when it arrives? Or will we see a whole new generation of short-form creators approach the bench?

Some Vine stars have since moved over to YouTube - Logan and Jake Paul have gained huge success from their transition - which begs the question; will these stars go back to this vine-like platform again?

Only time will tell for this one.

Will it run on the same six-second format?

Vine's alluring nature was its easy yet engaging six-second video format. It's could even be considered sacred. It's the perfect amount of time to mesmerize and confuse whoever's watching so that they'll watch the same bizarre clip a hundred times. It's something we as a generation have grown accustomed to, so will V2 run on the same format?

Or will it allow the user to create and post longer videos, like Twitter's new decision to increase the classic 140 character limit to 240 characters?

Do we need V2?

Vine was a huge success, sure. Nobody's doubting or going against that. But it received a massive drop in active users and viewers in the later months before its demise, should that be used a sign to stay away from creating a 'revamped' sister app? Vine was a constellation of the best, worst, and often most embarrassing parts of the human experience. Iconic vines are still very much referenced and watched today, but should we try and relight the now exhausted flame? Vine now holds a legacy in a lot of people's hearts, V2 may become a solid extension of just that and thus allow it to flourish like nobody would believe, but it could also remind us of the limitations and downside's of the medium, making it a flop from day one. Only time will tell.
