Twitter launches Vine for the Web with profiles, home feed, and a TV mode for viewing videos in full screen

 Twitter today launched Vine for the Web. The service is available now: just head to vine.co and login with your Vine account.

The new site lets users browse their home feed, view videos in full screen TV mode, as well as like, comment, and share Vines. You can also visit your favorite users’ Vine profiles, and share your own with others so they can see your posts.
