My Newest Social Media Addiction
I know last week I said the weekend wasn’t complete without a weekend recap, but this recap is going to have to wait. Instead I have to tell you about my latest social media discovery! I’m sure many of you have heard about Periscope. It’s a new type of social media where you share live broadcasts. At first I thought it sounded lame, but after giving it a try this weekend, I’m hooked!
When Instagram first came out, I was super against it. I mean, what did I need it for if I already had Facebook to share my photos. Well, three years later, and I’m an Instragram addict. Plus, it’s become a huge platform for brands and sharing! Because of that, I promised myself that I’d jump on whatever new platform that would happen to inevitably be created. Enter Periscope.
Over the weekend I was able to share some clips from the luau we attended as well as a video from the beach, where we watched airplanes take off. Last night I sat and watched videos from all over the world. I think my favorite part of this app is that it gives you a map of the world and you’re able to explore countries that you’ve never before visited.
GUYS! I watched a bunch of baby koalas and kangaroos! Live, in real-time. If that’s not enough to convince you to download the app, I don’t know what is!
Now, I’m sure there are a bunch of creeps out there
I spent an ample amount of time also creeping the homeland (Miami), but there really is never as interesting as what’s going on in other parts of the world.
