TRANSMIT live their lives. This seems just the first step – the most simple and intuitive, as the meme of refrigerators or the high rate of nonsense – that of cries for application launched a few days ago from Twitter. The small program designed by the US Kayvon Beykpour and Joe Bernstein has fallen into the clutches of Dick Costolo & amp; Co. earlier this year when it was still incomplete at the price of, say, a hundred million dollars. In the wake of another application even more radical than the anticipated slightly, Meerkat, was quickly made available on the App Store last week. The Android version should be around the corner. But the potential is enormous, because Periscope promises to become the key for broadcasting in mobility. To show us things happen while. Or make them happen for mostrarcele.
Use Periscope is perhaps easiest to upload a photo to Instagram. After downloading the free app and signing up going from Twitter enables program access to the camera, microphone, and, if desired, geolocation, you put a title to their direct and crushes “Start Broadcast”. The End. Whatever you choose to take, and wherever you are, you live with your followers of the app is that, if you want, warning on Twitter thanks to a tweet posted automatically with the link to the stream.
The logic of those who follow us or we can follow works by integrating the account with which we are already in touch on Twitter but also, of course, adding users most appreciated scovandone or new, for example sifting between who is experiencing the same stream . Although the main screen, continuously updated according to the suggestions of Periscope, arriving direct from around the world. In addition to being listed in the previous performance of our contacts, as long as these have enabled storage but that only lasts 24 hours. As Snapchat Stories. The exact opposite of Meerkat, which instead focuses totally ephemeral appearance of the game ended the direct, the content is no longer available. Returning to Periscope, but if we are doing more and some of the contacts that we follow is transmitting, get a notification and you can slingshot in the app with a single swipe on the display.
within a stream can interact with the broadcaster, that is, with who is transmitting, in two ways: disseminating hearts with a touch on the display or commenting in real time. The first are displayed in the lower right corner and direct most populated rained continuously. The comments of connected users, whose number is also reported, flowing through a chat instead superimposed on the image. Both limit not just the vision but the broadcaster may choose to hide them. At the price of breaking down not just the fun aspect of the application is that, in fact, the key and the immediacy of the unpublished report that is created between the cameraman and the beholder. There remain a number of other details – change the room from front to back, making direct private access to specific users or know the other spectators of a stream by consulting their card while chatting – but it does not change.
As is often not Periscope new: services and applications to do more or less the same thing there are several, by Twicasting, Livestream or Younow through the most professional Ustream or Twitch, dedicated to the world of video games. The difference is in the package, the integration with the ecosystem of Twitter which Periscope is the logical projection – and, of course, in the handful of elements that determine the linearity of use, the absolute simplicity and overlapping different ingredients. Ensuring their universality. There broadcasting, there is the dynamics of social networks (even if chat is not so simple), there is a splash of game, there is a deep sense of alienation linked to the stream that update constantly in bulletin board and a kind of “teleportation”, so he called one of the co-founders, made possible by the continuous jumps from one video to another. And then there’s the fashion: a few days everyone is talking about and all they log in, for fear of losing the next big thing for road applications. It is to see if the trend – extremely expensive in terms of bandwidth and data traffic, the signal often jumps or just takes a lot to charge – will find its quadrature and that is if the language evolve giving Periscope real content and not the butts lives maybe fun but to which you can not give more than a few minutes.
A passage that no doubt will happen. If came the news about Snapchat, solutions to maximize the periscope of reality will multiply quickly. From direct baptism reserved for relatives to journalistic reporting in immediate grip – by the way, it seems that some US issuer has already begun to exploit it in this way – by direct informal places of power to the wings of any kind (tv, web tv newspapers, events, shows) through an infinite number of alternatives. Shared online games and decided, based on the comments. Press conferences, presentations, documentation Live – has happened with the blackout at the airport in Amsterdam and with other news stories that users were involuntary witnesses – or unpublished formats of entertainment that will have to be structured to justify the time spent on an app powerful but not to use in the background. It is one thing to take a look at the tweet while you are at dinner, another place themselves in front of the direct take-off of a plane or a university lecture.
David Pierce wrote on Wired Use that it is “consensual voyeurism”. At least as regards the appearance of the “Live life”. On everything else, that is, to build content that go beyond even endless chores of daily life (sometimes interesting, otherwise meaningless and intended to collect a few spectators) there will be work. Riding obviously what Beykpour calls the magic moment of its app: “It happens not when you see the video for the first time,” he told the US magazine, “all this we have already tried, from YouTube to other instruments to stream. The magic moment is when the audience says something and ends up influencing the broadcaster “. The eternal present has its stage.
In the middle, in fact, there is no one. There is no direction, there is no moderation, there’s some kind of mediation. So, like any kind of social network, on the other hand, the flow is open to anything and any use. The same Twitter is indeed proof that the conditions of use are, to put it mildly, ineffective. Even the privacy runs thus a new risk (anyone and at any time could be catapulted into a direct without even realizing it) and with it everything you pay for access to exclusivity. Just think of a football game (impossible to switch off between the phones in the stadium) or a film by amateur recording problems will move to international direct.
