Have you tried Periscope? Apple released it’s best apps of 2015 today and Periscope TV received the top spot as “App of the Year“. This will come as no surprise to those of us that have become obsessed with Periscope. Considering it just released in march of this year, it’s growth has been huge with over 10 million downloads of the app so far. Periscope isn’t the first app to offer live video streams but none of the others have reached this level of popularity. It will be interesting to see if Facebook’s version of live broadcasting, called Facebook Live, will have any impact on the success of Periscope. Time will tell. Personally, I can’t imagine another app having the ease of use that Periscope has. Given what I know of Facebook on the web and mobile, theirs will not be as user-friendly.
If you haven’t tried Periscope yet, what are you waiting for? Download the app and give us a follow! For more info on how to get started read this. Check this one for my top picks of who to follow. If you are watching broadcasts on your computer, I would definitely recommend you use the app. It’s easier to use and allows you to comment and give hearts as well, making you part of the conversation.
I can’t wait to see the creative ways Periscope will be used in the near future as a source for social media, information, and marketing.

Many of the shirts are mostly in smaller and very large sizes, but there is a ton of accessories and toys as well as…
Disney After Hours BOO BASH is an all-new Halloween Party taking place at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World this Fall. This special three-hour After Hours event will replace the long-running Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) for the 2021 season. As we anticipate the potential return of MNSSHP in 2022, After Hours BOO BASH…
As you may know by now, we regularly use Periscope to live broadcast to our followers. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first. I am much more comfortable writing than talking in front of the camera. But it has really grown on me. I like the fact that we can interact with people and respond…
There are many special events that take place at the Disney World parks. Some are “official” events planned by the Disney company and some are not. This week we had the 45th anniversary of Magic Kingdom which was an official Disney event. We also had the final performance of the Main Street Electrical parade, and…
Last night STK had a grand opening party at their new location at Disney Springs. I had intended this to be a review but that will have to come later. The party was very swanky, with a Miami club vibe. They tried hard to give this a very high-end, adult feel. Red carpet entry, girls…
The fall season is in full swing here at Walt Disney World Florida. You’d never know from the weather since temperatures are hot as ever, but there are other signs. Orange and pumpkins can be seen everywhere on Main Street, the Halloween parties are three times a week (soon to be four nights in October)…
