At this point in its life cycle it’s raw. Once you can start filtering the feeds by country, amount of people watching, and category, it’ll be unbelievable.

Take the news for instance, they won’t show you the fire crew rescuing half a person’s body from a car crash. Not that I want to see that but the idea is that this is REAL life.

You learn more from this than TV. Did you know that they serve PBR’s in paper bags for 1 dollar in Texas? Have you seen ever seen the French Riviera from a ferris wheel 200 feet above ground? It’s more educational than you think and it’s not what someone wants you to know ie TV.

Tell Gourlay to crawl back into the hole he hides in.

Everyone wants to be there when something happens live so they can tell everyone they saw it live (i.e. a murder) but it seems incredibly unproductive. With TV you’re probably learning something or watching a live publicized event. With video games you’re problem solving and/or working on hand-eye coordination. This just seems like such a waste of time.

Gourlay wants to know if you have stock in Periscope.
