Just been reading about two new apps that allow you to livestream whatever youre doing atm to people that follow you....Meerkat and Periscope. They are both only available on IOS right now but will be coming to Android soon.
I WAS able to download a Periscope viewer app on Android to get a feel of what its like. ...I saw a guy driving his car down the road, a woman eating a taco, and a cpl girls goofing around at home lol
Although they both have subtle differences, the premise behind both is that you can video whatever youre doing atm, and it is streamed to the internet in realtime.
Are we this bored? This lonely? This narcissistic that we have to share every single event of our lives now? Lol
Of course, these apps do have benefits....business promotion, realtime news events, etc.....but how long before naked dudes take em over?

Alot of people streaming from sporting events this afternoon...major league baseball games, soccer matches, etc......and people showing their kids doing cute stuff.

Gonna be interesting to see how copyright laws take these apps as they progress. Go see a movie, stream it from your phone for your buds to watch also.......that sort of thing.
