What is Periscope?
- Thread starter SosaUK
- Start date
Okay, so what exactly is Matt Jones doing on it tonight? I saw something about it on KSR.
I've seen other people talk about it.
<----- this guy is clueless.
Jibba jabb, foo!
He'll be talking about stuff, largely about the ongoing Louisville shenanigans.
If Twitter was a prostitute, Skype was a UofL player/recruit and they both engaged in the recruiting process without a condom you would get a Periscope.
It's an app you very much need to download if you are a UK fan. It's kind of a live video feed from various sources. KSR, Matt Jones, UK, etc. have done an excellent job at this so far this year. Kind of a video version of Twitter.
As a UK fan that hasn't been able to go to a game yet this year, it's been epic. Live video feeds of the Catwalk, etc.
The Periscope live video feed of the players celebrating after the South Carolina game was one of the most awesome things I've experienced via the Internet as a UK fan. Was so cool to watch the game, get excited about the win, and then - in real time - see the team celebration afterwards. I felt like I was there.
I'm already looking forward to the Periscope version of basketball season.

Oh okay. So it's kinda like watching the SVP show on ESPN? You are kinda just watching someone talk?
I think I get it. I'll check it out.
Do you follow people like on Twitter?
Yep. The app will notify you when someone you follow on Twitter has started broadcasting.
Yes - you have to "follow" accounts.
It's just very raw live video feed. Like you're watching video from someone standing there in the locker room filming the guys as they celebrated. Or Matt Jones sits down in his home, all sweaty and unkempt, and broadcasts some live video stuff. There is a gratifying "immediacy" to it that is hard to describe. Last week, after the UL scandal broke, Matt had a Periscope broadcast and his glee was palpable.
He's going to be broadcasting something tonight at 9:00. I've got Periscope on my iPad, and it's always exciting when I hear that Periscope notification whistle. I know it's going to be something cool.
I believe you can if they archive the video. Matt Jones does not. If you want to see it, you have to watch as he airs it.
Pay Per View honcho's hate Periscope, people are streaming the fight, concert whatever on cell phones to Periscope. One guy I follow streams all the Bronco games from his stadium seat with surprising decent quality.
I think I remember your username from another UK board.
Do you ever post there anymore?
I just read there, but seldom posted.
Used to post fairly frequently at kysportsreport.com. I fell out of the habit of going to UK message boards, but found my way back here for Fornigate.
I wish my life was that important. Haha
No shit? I figured the quality would be not good regarding a sporting event. I'll have to check it out.
What is the reason for a certain number of responses? And who cares if you respond or not?
Or do you respond with questions and he might answer one!
You can ask questions, or just give input. There's a limited number of participants for chat. Not sure what the max # is. I know the day the UL slutgate was exposed, he had a periscope. I got the notification when I was already on my phone. I clicked to join it immediately and was notified that it was already too full to chat. I'm talking like, 15 seconds (pun intended).
Matt will take comments/questions on Twitter as well as through the Periscope app. He cares more about good questions than whether they're from someone who go into the broadcast first.
I literally clicked the notification for his Periscope when I was already in the Periscope app. Said broadcast was too full and had 1.3K viewers. What the hell?? lol. Don't care about chatting, just thought that was crazy
Oh yeah, you can still watch it. Actually, I never type anything on there. I just watch. Highly recommend, Sosa. Just make sure to setup your notifications so you know when he starts one.
plus the periscope broadcasts stays up 24 hours static, can watch people you follow broadcasts for the last 24 hours if miss it live.
Great way to put it - it takes the twitter thing to another level, I think - connects you with people in exclusive industries or across the world that you'd never hear from directly even 10 years ago, and now you can just watch them burp and scratch their nose etc with no TV makeup.
I missed the one last night because I was watching the Colts game. I wasn't able to replay it. Maybe you're doing something different that allows you to replay?
It was synced up through my twitter account, so it prompted me to select who I wanted to follow on periscope and I chose KSR.
Me and you both. I"m 29 and had a kid look at me crazy for laughing at his jean jacket and mullet. Actually, they all looked at me crazy for laughing about it. Lol. Insane how things change so quickly. Feels like yesterday I was laughing at my dad for laughing at my sneaker boots and baggy tommy shirts.
That she does.
Its mainly just her putting on makeup though....not that I would know...
