Girl Plays Jenga Using a Whip

I don’t know who YouTuber April Jennifer Choi is, but I know a few things about her. First, she is a total smoke show. Second, she is really into the whips. Third, she makes me a little nervous. Fourth, she plays Jenga better with her whip that most people do with their hands.

Vine gets an unofficial talent agency, helps you profit from six seconds of fame

Vine and Twitter

Believe it or not, it's possible to to be a star within the six seconds of a Vine video -- just ask the likes of Riff Raff or Will Sasso, whose Vines are nearly as popular as their usual work.

While Vaynerchuk isn't naming initial clients beyond co-founder Jerome Jarre, he expects the agency to be profitable enough that a wildly popular Vine user could make a living from posting 20 clips a year. There's also no word on when the agency will be open for business, although it already has a partnership lined up with Virgin Mobile. Just don't expect a rush toward Instagram videos -- for now, Grape Story is focused on the more established platform.
