Suddenly, it seems that everyone wants to share live video. And I do it through Twitter. After the success of applications such as Meerkat, the company wanted to launch his own approach and the result is Periscope a app that allows easy sharing what we have ahead as vídeo.http: // is. gizmodo.com/twitter-permit …
For the moment is only available for iPhone (like Meerkat), but soon also come to Android. The application is the result of a purchase of a company that made Twitter a few weeks ago. The price of the transaction has not been confirmed, but it seems to be around $ 100 million.
After testing the app for a while I have two things clear immediately. The first is that it works well and is more polished than Meerkat. The second is that it does, in essence, nothing radically different. Video output only takes a few taps and thereafter (possibly because everyone is downloading and testing as I write these lines) have begun to join spectators, about 50 in less than a minute.
These viewers can comment on the chat or give the equivalent of a “like” or a favorite tweet that appears in the form of heart. Once the broadcast ends, a replay video format can be up to 24 hours later, at which time expires automáticamnte. During this time you can also add comments and hearts.
Is it useful? You can become so, but for cases relatively concrete and supported on a much larger as Twitter platform. Among the recommended users appeared people as a balloon pilot or astronaut aboard the ISS Chris Hadfield.
Like all depend on the use of approaches and community. The apparent limitations of Vine at the time (video only 6 seconds) have resulted in an incredibly active user base and has managed this advantage inconvenient time, an ally to bring creativity to content.
With Periscope is likely to happen something similar. If used to see a good sunset over Cappadocia taken from a balloon or an astronaut show me the window of the International Space Station, the chances are pretty interesting. [Download: iPhone]
