The tech-savvy ones out there will undoubtedly already be pros on Vine. The rest of you may be scratching your head. Here’s what’s up:

Vine is a mobile application launched in June 2012 that allows users to create and post videos of up to 6 seconds. It might sound simple, but the pros out there (and yes, there are already Vine whizes up the wazoo) have found ways of making these 6 second clips as creative and thought-provoking as possible. Some vines portray quick glimpses into a particular world or lifestyle, while others play with time, sound, and motion to create a magical realist effect. There’s no limit to the inventiveness the Vine platform and a mere 6 seconds can offer!

So step one, get a Vine account.
