Having skipped Instagram, Snapchat and such, I'm surprised to find myself incredibly enthusiastic about Periscope and Meerkat. I really think they're onto something here. I've watched a number of streams of people showing things they're working on, streams of events people are at, etc. It's incredible - you feel like you're there, participating even. Live streaming has existed for years, but it has never been this easy to create streams and view streams. Just hit a button and you're showing what you're seeing to your Twitter followers. Or, if you're browsing Twitter, tap a link and you're seeing what they're seeing. I'm especially looking forward to events such as WWDC, Google I/O, CES, etc: will be fascinating to get realtime access. |

Holding your phone up and recording a livestream of pay-for-access events will not only likely get you kicked out (I believe Coachella cracked down on it), but it is very disrespectful toward the other attendees. That's one of the many reasons why personal livestreaming doesn't work.
