I was introduced to Periscope through a recent Rocking Vicar podcast. For the uninitiated, it’s an app from Twitter that allows you to watch and comment on live streams from anyone around the world. Your text come up on the screen of the person doing the filming and they often comment on what you’ve written. It’s strangely fascinating and all very random. You’re never quite sure where you’re going to pop up. Yesterday I asked a Scottish man on a tuk tuk ride through Bangkok what he could smell as he travelled along (rotting veg and diesel), looked at an ornamental lamp in a Californian’s lounge as we bitched about the English weather (he’d lived in Canada and knew my pain) and asked a young chap in Florida if he liked Morrissey (he didn’t have a clue what I was talking about). Anyone else used it yet?
