Is anyone here familiar with the live streaming app Periscope? Twitter acquired the app a few months back for 100M, a smart acquisition in my opinion.
I've noticed quite a few live streams from NFL training camps, live games, press conferences etc.. Obviously a lot of random stupid stuff but I can see this app making some serious noise in the social media world.
I'm sure there will be some hate but just curious if anyone here has used it or had any thoughts to share.

You can also do private broadcasts and I've used that to broadcast baseball at bats from the kids' summer ball games.
it works surprisingly smoothly. Very well done, IMO

Such a simple concept, makes you think "why didn't I think of that". Obviously the execution is huge, like you said it's very smooth. I imagine a lot of technology is behind that.
YAJ, were you able to hit one of the shows they played "Losing It"?

not in person, but I caught each performance of it live on Periscope at least. Really wish I was going to LA tomorrow in person, but will just have to rely on the audience again.
**Request: if any beat writers see this, please try a Periscope broadcast of Training camp practices- would gather a ton of attention from hard core fans, no doubt.
