Already, Vine’s gained some hyperbolic love from the usual corners — a PandoDaily writer said it was making Twitter a “critical part of the news infrastructure” just days after launch — and local early adopters have been playfully embracing the tool as well, documenting six-second slices of Bostonia. Here’s some of favorites, including a few peeks inside the Globe newsroom and what I think could be Joss Whedon’s next superhero superflick, set right here in Boston. Or maybe not.

Some tips for spotting more interesting Vines:

— Use Twitter’s search for Tweets from people you know and then pop in Vine.co; it will pull in all Vine-pushed Tweets.

— Vinepeek throws random Vines your way, interruption free and unfiltered. Can be a mesmerizing peek, and also occasionally not safe for work or the squeemish.

— Don’t forget the audio! By default it’s off, but it can add a lot to some montages. Just click in the lower left of a Vine.
