Periscope is already mania: streaming Twitter shakes the rival … – The Messenger

Once there was no tv to be labeled as a “window on the world,” then came the internet with its revolutions to provide more opportunities to look. And one that is emerging could be the last frontier before the ‘teleport’: the live streaming at your smartphone, an upward trend and the great potential as the success of the app launched by Twitter Periscope – making full fans and begins to shake the rival meerkat.

The budget of the first week of Periscope can be said to be positive according to the counter online Topsy, the weekend debut links to direct shared on microblog reached almost 100 thousand share, peaking on Saturday ( 51 thousand), marking the passing on tweets with links to direct on Meerkat. Then the links to Periscope stood at a daily average of about 17 thousand, while traveling on Meerkat almost 12 thousand, about half as much as in the previous week totaled $ onset of the “periscope” of Twitter.

“What I can already see, a week after the launch – notes Salvatore Ippolito, country manager of Twitter Italy – is that the audience is very diverse and creative. Periscope in this sense it is very similar to Twitter. Twitter is, in video: live, conversational and the public. ” And in Italy the reception was the best with testimonials as Fiorello and Jovanotti that are leading the way. In addition to walking, to breakfast, to the shooting of the half-empty refrigerators to share with strangers there are interesting experiments in progress.

They begin to engage the parties (the intervention of Renzi direction Pd Monday went well on Periscope) and businesses (Skyscanner has launched a sort of palimpsest style TV to bring its followers to discover dozens of cities in the world). Italy also records his first phenomena, such as the singer Lidia Schillaci that with his performances has been noticed by the US site Mashable.

The platform “seems built cleverly to exaggerate the passions of modern , especially young people. ” Beginning dall’assuefazione to “Selfie ‘, which in this case become” dynamic “, and then by the need to be” producers “of content. Do not underestimate the privacy issues, which undergoes “a shocking attack,” so that in the future you will be able to assume also bans the use of “periscope”, a bit like it was in the US with Google Glass that were not even in trade. Why, adds Morcellini, Periscope is in fact “a camera open the lives of others, without waiting for the law that there are cameras.”
