Periscope 4/3pm-4/4am (5:45am!)

Periscope has changed a lot in the last week. It has gone from voyeurs commanding streamers to show their fridge to showing their (multiple female specific body parts). That last part is rather annoying. 

Today, I was a worldwide voyeur. I listened to four different women monologue or respond to texts through system or interact with others in the environment around them. (I did capture some screen shots)

PERISCOPE LOGO

One was named Lily, in San Franscisco. She went to work, went bowling with a group from work, was in her ultra expensive apt, went out for gelato in SF with her boyfriend. She was personable, entertaining. 

One was named Christina, in LA. She is the CEO of a Virtual Reality content production company. She was also very engaging, interesting. She showed them working on some VR stuff, went to a Magic show, chased her cat around. 

A third woman, Amanda Oleander, is a (mostly) digital artist. She was the one thinking most of how to utilize this medium to her benefit. She had a whole scheme set up, saying she was going to host private Periscope sessions, where she could get to know her followers. She was interesting and entertaining. Also in LA, she does art work for some major TV outfit. She had integrating art work on her website (for sale) and took the viewers through her book collection while waiting for the kettle to boil for tea. 

The last periscope I was involved with was a young girl (23) from Norway named Guro. She was just getting up, which was a contast with the other 3 who were in different stages of getting finished with work to getting ready for bed. She talked and talked and talked about a lot of things. She was pleasant. She had been learning English since kindergarten there in Norway, but said during the stream that she had learned more about English in the last 5 years on YouTube. Apparently she follows Vlogs, one she is a big fan of called Shaytarfs. They are in Idaho. When she was talking about wishing to come to the U.S., she specifically mentioned Idaho and Alaba (b/c of Forrest Gump). Weird how our media impacts people in other countries.

(This is not a screen shot, but I didn't want to leave her out, this pic is from her feed). 

 

There was a 5th periscope, a couple. They went to Magic Montain (6 flags in CA). They were fun, funny, and showed some things there at the park. But something must have creeped the girl out enough during her periscoping that she created a second handle.
