So THIS was just announced today from Twitter/Periscope…
…which is funny because on slide 57 of Carlos Gil’s recent Slideshare featuring social media “predictions” for the upcoming year, I happened to discuss this very thing:
It seemed like a natural next step for Twitter to do. I don’t think anyone is truly surprised by this new UX, and I would venture to say most are hugely in favor of it…
This update also comes out just in time for Periscope Summit happening in San Francisco this week, which is FANTASTIC timing on Twitter’s part (assuming they did it on purpose and weren’t just lucky).
As for me and my “predictions”…I’m now running to the store to buy some lottery tickets.
