Periscope

It's a new app by Twitter. It allows you to broadcast yourself live.
Is this the new social media? Can you imagine the amount of filth people will broadcast?

Hmmm, interesting. This could be huge. I see it having a big impact on live news, weather, traffic, p*rn, sports... Possibilities are endless. Unfiltered, unedited reality... It's gonna get ugly, really fast.

It could be a game changer!

Normal citizens can now broadcast news events, weather, traffic and sports.

Club promoters can broadcast their clubs and lounge live.

Personal trainers can work out live with people.

Celebrities can broadcast live streams of award shows.

Pornstars can have live toying sessions.

Just curious, but what is the value of live? You can have an instagram video uploaded in seconds and you get to see what just happened. This sounds like a bandwidth killer more than anything.

The purpose of it being live is that your viewers interact with you.
As they're watching they can ask or tell you what to do. That's the major difference between this and instagram

And yes, it will get ugly very fast. Just like most Social media app, their early days are full of filth and craziness. Then as time goes, it will eventually be filtered out. New local celebrities will be born with this app.

Just like people have become local celebrities and made millions on YouTube, Twitter and instagram
