I remember there was some company pushing the video version of twitter. That is, the ability to post really short videos. What ever happened to them?

That's exactly the point. Today's superstar company of one app becomes tomorrow's forgotten fad.

You cannot monetize a digital toy. Advertising people just don't seem to get this when they keep pumping up these services looking for click revenue. Even Twitter makes nothing and it is considered to be a cornerstone of the internet and communication.

Vine and it is fairly big, but I don’t see long term revenue potential for most of these services.

VINE was bought by Twitter.
