A'Scopin' and Blabbin'
My current trends are Periscope and Blab that Ive only seen covered by a few people here at WA. Here's what I know:
Periscope is an app. If you have an iPhone or an Android phone, you would simply open a Twitter account (Periscope is owned by Twitter.
It allows you to watch live broadcasts by people of all walks of life. Some are just bored kids sitting around putting on their makeup or eating pizza while talking about whatever comes to mind. Others are life coaches or entrepreneurs offering hints and tips on building a business, their are minister preaching to their followers. It's fascinating and anyone can become a broadcaster instantly by pressing a little red button inside the app. As you talk, people can type in comments and questions.
Blab is similar, but requires either a laptop with a camera and a mic, or a desktop computer and a separate mic, camera and sound card so you can broadcast.
In Blab, up to four people can appear on your screen simultaneously and have discussions or conferences live in real time. If you wish to be a part of the live discussion during a broadcast, you just hit the CALL button and the host can bring you into the "room". Like Periscope, you can type in comments and questions during the discussion and the participants can see them on their screen and address them.
There’s another WA member here, BTW who has written blogs about Blab as well. That would be DAVE SW. I would suggest reading his articles (and follow him if you haven’t already) Here are links to his blogs…

There are lots of tutorials out there. There are also a lot of people selling eBooks on how to make money with Blab and Periscope. HINT: Don't buy any.
You can find it all out for free once you start watching and listening to some Scopes and Blabs on your own. I hope to see some of your smiling faces blabbing away in cyberspace shortly... And I hope you'll be seeing me, too!

I came across "blab" somewhere but never really paid attention to it. I'm afraid I'll get hooked after reading your blog. Periscope is something new to me. And I will definitely take a look at them if it's meant to increase following and traffic. Thanks for sharing, Hal. I'm looking forward to more fruitful networking with you in the days to come.

Awesome share, Hal. Was just thinking yesterday that I'd like to start learning how to make videos to promote my services. I will be checking these out. Many thanks! :-)
I use periscope, and I've done a blab.. Periscope seems to always loose internet connection I'm not sure if it's AT&T or periscope. Blab has a 4 way split screen takes a little getting use to.
I have never come across this before thank you will have a look at it
