Vine has been the fastest growing app of 2013, with 403 percent growth between Q1 and Q3, according to GlobalWebIndex. Vine, which Twitter relaunched in January, beat out apps like Flickr and Instagram (ranked second and third, respectively) to win the top spot. In fact, the second fastest growing app of the year, Flickr, grew by only 146 percent between Q1 and Q3, putting it (virtually) miles behind Vine's growth. Other apps rounding out the top 10 include WhatsApp, Facebook, Skype, YouTube, Twitter, Foursquare and Facebook Messenger.
