Vine is not the first video-sharing app. Tout, a platform for sharing 15-second videos, emerged from the prestigious Stanford Research Institute to launch in 2010. It has secured some $15 million in venture funding. Viddy launched in 2011 and has garnered $36 million in funding from investors including Twitter co-founder Biz Stone.
