The Old Days (i.e. 2008)
• Flip camera radically
increased speed of
shooting and uploading
video through the magic
of USB
• Smart phones with video
cameras hastened demise

Introduction to Periscope
• Mobile app (iOS, Android) enables live video
streaming and interaction with the audience
• < 1 year old; > 100 MM streams to date
• Owned by Twitter with increasing integration

Twitter app) but can’t interact without
Periscope app

Benefits of Periscope

• Wifi or mobile data plan
• Live interaction, with ability to block trolls
• More organized and better featuring of
subject experts than radically democratic
Twitter chats
