VineBingo was a unique 3rd-party-content-driven game interface exploring a new means to create user-impressions and generate keyed-content sorting. The VineBingo platform introduces a "gamified" interface to the emerging world of Twitter's Vine social-media video feature. It was like a mash-up of reality television and "I Spy." A pattern-matching game using near-real-time videos from across the Internet, and driving a self-categorizing database. The gamification drove the video classification engine.
Status: Archived after public beta. The Vine feature of Twitter was discontinued.
