datapp: Periscope

Periscope brings live streaming capabilities to anyone with a Twitter account brave enough to expose their unique experience for the entire world to see. With the click of three buttons you can see life through the eyes of a Saudi Prince, a French radio host, or a South Korean teenager.
The interface is simple and easy to use, a map of the world with circles indicating where people are live streaming from, click on the feed and you enter their world.
The app definitely has some weird moments because of how free it is, tons of financial schemes, occasional nudity and various cringe worthy moments but that’s what makes the app so great it allows you to get an unfiltered look into anyone’s world.
I’ve spent hours on Periscope commenting on complete strangers live streams and that’s what makes it so different from any social media platform, complete interaction with people you would otherwise never meet is encouraged and made easy. If you aren’t live streaming yet you should be.
