Hi Sam and Klaus,
Might I first state that it
does not surprise me that the first few responses to this
idea come from leaders of the NPOC. The NPOC use of Twitter
is exceptional and far surpasses anything the NCUC or NCSG
does in social media. People might want to take a look at
@NPOC_ICANN. I find NPOC's tweets to be very helpful.
I share your joint concern
that 1) use of the app might not be widespread and 2) if we
did it we'd be scoping to no one.
?For those not familiar with
the app, Periscope, which is owned by Twitter, allows for
live broadcasting from events using your mobile phone.
You can watch it on your phone, tablet or within your
browser. Scopes remain accessible for 24 hours. For example,
here is a bit of last night's Bruce Springsteen concert,
from the balcony:
?Or a behind the scenes look
at the Phoenix Fox 10 newsroom this morning:
?Both of these videos
will one gone within the day.
In my view, Periscope would
be a way to take all of our members "behind the scenes" at
an ICANN meeting or event. That said, although the app
has exploded with younger people our membership trends a bit
older. It is Apple's "App Of The Year" and, although only
launched in March of last year, has widespread adoption
amongst the under 25's. I use it but I'm not your typical
NCSG member (nor, sadly, am I under 25).
I'll leave the question out
there for response. If there are people who are using
Periscope, or want to, and would like me to try to
do something with it at the intercessional meeting please
let me know. If not, perhaps we can revisit the idea down
the road, when the installed base is a bit larger.
Thanks,
Ed
