Have You Checked Out Periscope Yet?

Have you checked out Periscope yet?

Periscope is the new video streaming app from Twitter. (to be precise, Twitter bought Periscope) Download the Periscope app to your Android or iPhone, sign in with your Twitter account and you are al set.

Periscope displays a world map with red dots signifying people who are currently streaming video.  Right now I'm watching video of a beach in Italy. 

Streaming your own video is just as easy: two taps on the screen and you are a broadcaster, right from your phone.

If you turn Twitter sharing on, then your broadcast will be shared with your Twitter followers in a tweet that follows the following formula: LIVE on #Periscope: [Video Title] [Link to Video]. This means that you'll use your other social media channels to direct people to your Twitter feed.

Periscope has great potential for product demos, announcements, video presentations, and all sorts of business and marketing activities..
