![]() ![]() She had school, of course, followed by a conference with Filthy Rich– again–about Diamond Tiara's behavior. Nevertheless, she groaned and settled more comfortably beneath her sheets, using the extra time to review her schedule for the day. This wasn't all that unusual she was halfway through the school year, and by this point the routine had sunk into her bones. ChaptersĬheerilee opened her eyes three minutes before her alarm went off. Despite his attempts to start over fresh, however, his past-both recent and distant-keeps coming back to haunt him and the ponies he cares about. But in the end (here it comes), content is king, and if people come in the front door and can’t find something great to see, they’re going to bail quickly.First published 30th of June, 2012 Prince Blueblood starts into his new life in Ponyville.įollowing the events of "The Strange Destiny of Prince Blueblood," our semi-hero's life has been flipped and turned upside down. Periscope’s rankings in the App Store have changed dramatically. Over the past few days, Periscope has soared back to the most-downloaded charts-at time of writing, Periscope is ranked 21 in top free apps, the highest its been since launch day. “They’re capturing a lot of data, and they know so much about the audience and the performers, which makes discovery easy. “YouNow has a much better data platform,” iTrend founder Michael Alatortsev-whose other company, Advection, provides the video streaming infrastructure for YouNow-told the Observer. But YouNow is also much more sophisticated on the analytics side of their business. YouNow, which you can view on desktop, is searchable by performer and organizes broadcasters by hashtag, and opens new broadcasts alongside search so that your view of new broadcasters never disappears from view-the whole platform is much easier to browse. You can search for users if you know their name or username, but-and this bears repeating-there is no other way to search Periscope for users, and no way at all to search for live broadcasts. ![]() There is also no way to search live feeds. What they don’t have is discovery based on interests, geography, newsworthiness, hashtag or anything in that arena. The other is to click on the global feed tab, which shows you a random collection of broadcasts, with a few verified accounts at the top. The first is to follow people you either know from Twitter or see on the world leader boards-a collection of feeds based on hearts, the worst metric of success in the history of social media-and wait for the push notifications to roll in. Right now, there are only two ways to find Periscope feeds. Stream doesn’t just display feeds, but analytics and trends around what’s happening on Periscope. One of these is Sympl, a new site from iTrend, a search engine for Periscope, Meerkat-Periscope’s number one rival-and YouNow, which is like a desktop-compatible for watching teens sleep and sing to each other. All of these sites have closed API’s, so Stream, Sympl and Streamalong are scrubbing Twitter for public announcements-tweets with a link to a broadcast that go out when the streams begin.Īnd because the discovery engines are built on top of data platforms means that the sites can offer little extra insights-like confirming the long-held suspicion that most broadcasts are just people talking at their cameras: The early discovery sites are built largely as side-hustles for companies that are already scrubbing Periscope’s data anyway for analysis. “Periscope was built to find people you might know on Twitter, but there’s so much newsworthy content outside of that,” Dextro co-founder David Luan told the Observer. And Stream isn’t the only one in the game- jumped into the discovery game in the first few weeks of Periscope, before you could find any broadcasts outside of who you followed. Yesterday, analytics startup Dextro launched Stream, a site that actually uses deep learning algorithms to analyze the contents of a Periscope broadcast and build a leader-board that sorts broadcasts by type.
