This very well be Periscope's only sin in its entire existence, but it is quite a doozy.

I maintain that I could make a beautiful collage just spending 20 minutes hopping around the live map in Periscope and linking every broadcast I land on here.
Turns out, Periscope does have a data export tool and it’s actually quite advanced.

For everything it got right, Meerkat still looks like an app built in eight weeks — which it was. Periscope has been in development for more than a year, and the app arrives showing nice attention to detail.

What has changed? Almost everything. Mobile phones are faster and more powerful, with large screens capable of displaying beautiful, high-definition video. Mobile networks—where LTE service is available, at least—can now easily handle high-quality streams in both directions. Data service is frequently affordable.

“The magic moment of Periscope is not when you see video for the first time,” [Kayvon Beykpour] says. “Because you’ve experienced that before, whether it’s YouTube or another live broadcasting tool. The magic moment for Periscope is when you as viewer say something and you end up influencing the broadcast.”[…]Periscope is all about the love: hearts are the service’s most visible number, measuring not just how many people like your broadcasts but how violently they like them

In the following weeks, as Levit kept Webcasting each night, a convivial online community formed around him on Twitter and its Periscope app—a self-described “Igor Familie.” Periscope includes a chat-room sidebar, with hearts floating up the screen like bubbles. Most comments were in German, but there were salutations from Nairobi, Tokyo, and Montevideo.

What excites us most about Periscope is the power of seeing something for yourself. We watched someone rise above the Sonoma valley in a hot air balloon; we witnessed “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” directly from Ferguson, Missouri, a terrifying fire that erupted in San Francisco’s Mission district and a live performance from a pianist who played any song requested from the audience.

“We were thinking about this before it was super interesting to the big players so the fact that Facebook, the 800-pound gorilla, woke up one day and decided that live was interesting is very flattering for us. They couldn’t have been further from this a year ago.”

For whatever fucking reason the article below has been sitting on the streaming page of my local NPR station, which I open up almost every morning to catch Morning Edition. And yet it was until just October 5, 2020 5:19 AM (CDT) that I noticed it fucking mentions Periscope. It begins with an embed to this Huffington Post piece, commenting "We are all CSPAN now."
