I think they're the reason for why the amount of new Youtube videos has decreased dramatically. To some extent they have probably made the pictures from Instagram and Twitter decrease slightly too.

How long have Vine been popular? Just think about how many videos we've missed during that time up until 2-3 weeks ago. I had no idea that it would be smart to check vines until someone here asked about it.

Anyone who has collected even before that? The search engines that has been linked here only catch those who has a #-tag, which is just a small promille of the vines that are published.

I saved about 80 for just one weekend. Most of them were just crap though. But there's some gems every weekend.
You can search Twitter using strings on the Twitter site. Just use this formula:

"Search String (ie. peeing, pee, peed, piss, etc.) vine.co (optionally, you can subtract words from search too using the "-whatever", but make sure the - and the word you're looking to take out have no space between them. Also, you don't need a comma between these ie. -off -around -about, etc.)"

Use that formula, Without Quotations.

Some of my popular search strings look like this:

peeing vine.co -of -off -pants -himself -herself -myself -about -around
pissing vine.co -of -off -pants -himself -herself -myself -about -around

I do that to take out the "pissed off" videos, but since people have awful typing skills, I use "of" as well to filter those out. I also filter out wetting videos, as I'm not at all into wetting at all and this particular set also takes care of British phrases such as "Pissing around", "Peeing around" or "Pissing about" cause those videos are of no use to me.

I'll also try the phrases "pissin" and "peein" because people here in the US tend to have awful grammar.

But the best part about this is that it's customizable and you can play with it to see what gets you the best results!
