Google's Photovine Teaser Site Goes Live

The link for Google's new photo-related project/service/lab is live, though there's nothing there to download or use. And curiously enough, the phone used in the Photovine promotional photo is an iPhone, not an Android device.
If you're wondering what Photovine is about, it's a community for users to share their photos and comment on others. Each of these threads will be referred to as "vines" -- hence the name. The photos are openly shared, so the rule of thumb is that if you wouldn't want your family to see something, you probably shouldn't post it.
It's not yet clear whether or not Photovine's launch is supposed to coincide with the advent of Google+. But, it is mighty peculiar that there isn't a native Google+ app for iOS just yet and the teaser photo shows an iPhone. We won't know what's really going on until it's officially available, but you can bookmark the official Photovine page and check on your own for when the service launches.
