24 Thrilling Periscopes I Was Invited to View This Morning

Periscope, the much-hyped live-streaming app from Twitter, is out today. It may one day prove to be a smash broadcasting success, launching Periscope celebrities, multi-million dollar advertising deals, and a thriving teenage subculture that old people like me can’t understand.

Today, it is insanely, almost aggressively boring.

Below, I’ve listed the titles of 23 different Periscope streams that I found in my feed over the course of my first thirty minutes on the app. Let this document stand in perpetuity, as either evidence of why Periscope never “happened,” or of the ungainly first days of an app where people had no idea what they were doing and almost ruined it for everyone.
