In a move that will open Vine up to a broader audience, the social video app has finally launched a real website at vine.co.
It was obvious Vine was headed for desktop users after opening up vanity URL registration in mid-December. Once users could navigate to their profiles at vine.co/yournamehere, a Web presence was inevitable.
