It was promised months ago, and now it's finally happening: Vine is now available on Windows Phone.
The social video-capture app owned by Twitter was an instant hit upon its debut in late January, first arriving on iOS, then Android a few months later. Now Windows Phone users will get their chance to share GIF-like six-second videos with the Vine community.

The Vine app on Windows Phone is nearly identical to the versions on other platforms, with a couple of differences: The app takes advantage of Windows Phone's "lenses," which bring all the features within the phone's built-in camera to image capture within the app. Also, the app makes use of the platform's live tiles, alerting users to new content via the app's icon on the home screen.

Vine's Windows Phone debut represents a milestone for the platform. Although Microsoft's mobile OS is a distant third place in smartphones, it commands significant chunks of some markets (notably Latin America), and it's still growing.
Vine is also just the first in a wave of major social apps migrating to Windows Phone. When Vine revealed its plans to develop a Windows Phone app, both Path and Flipboard joined the club, too. Later, Instagram said it would do an app as well. However, there have been no announcements for the other apps, so far.
