Impressed. Meerkat was first to market, but that sure didn't last long. Periscope is like a grown up version of Meerkat. I think both can succeed, but I feel like Periscope has the upper hand, especially when people like Jimmy Fallon are switching over to the new hotness. Users will follow the brands and celebs.
It's rare for me nowadays to open a product and 'get it' and see the possibilities. Too much cynicism. But Periscope is awesome. Not because it's perfect, but because it telegraphs where it's going with this first version - the best products have that air of inevitable obviousness to them. Good luck guys!
I'm curious about what influence Twitter had on Periscope's design and polish. Like Vine, it has a very "Twitter" feel. I wonder what the app looked like before the Twitter acquisition.
@adamokane The app looked identical to how it looks today. We're totally independent from Twitter from a Design/Eng standpoint (and also from a physical standpoint in that we have our own office). With that autonomy though, comes the *benefit* of tapping Twitter's wisdom in basically any area that may be helpful (such as scaling Content Moderation, and Infrastructure scaling advice!)
@kayvz Got it. Good deal. I think it was the Periscope profile screen that made me wonder - the simple following and follower counts, short bio, etc. reminded me of Twitter.
looks well executed. one big difference: you can stream landscape videos.
don t think it will take off until twitter starts to put the heavy promotion/integration in place
