Streamup

@rrhoover however it appears people are using it to stream things like pirates movies. Currently you can watch the Martian...😥

@rrhoover @drewwilson Hi Ryan, thanks for posting Streamup. We do indeed try to differentiate by focusing on entertainment. Unlike other communities where the focus is simply on sharing what's happening (i.e. walking your dog), we try to focus on truly engaging content (creators doing live commentary, news talk shows, reality shows, etc.).

@kyledmichelson I use periscope as my main live streaming platform, would it be worth while for me to switch? 🙌🏻🤔

@yourstrulyconor Hi Conor, we welcome anyone, but frankly I think it depends on the kind of stream you have. We build Streamup by focusing on broadcasters, so what that ends up meaning is we try to give you the best tools we can so you can have the highest quality broadcasts, i.e. bottom thirds, switching camera angles, special effects, overlays etc. and we give you ways to monetize. Imo, Streamup and Periscope are similar in some ways, but completely different when it comes to use-cases (entertainment vs. teleportation). If you want to make a living broadcasting long-form shows, Streamup offers that, whereas if you want to share brief, interesting moments in your life, Periscope offers that.

@kyledmichelson @kyledmichelson monetisation you say? 🤑 jk 😇 streamup def sounds better for my sort of content. I like to just pull out my phone,interact with viewers and have fun 🙌🏻 your tools are what's gotme leaning towards you guys, but as a relatively new app, is there possibility for discovery? What are some of the numbers you guys can brag about? Just as an indication.

@bryceoflife It's fascinating isn't it. Something's gonna take hold in a very big way and in a few years it'll be common place.

@automateiq that's an interesting idea 🤔 the fee would go the creator of the content right?

@automateiq We actually thought about doing that, but the market potential for live streaming platforms appears to be much larger. When you look at the more mature platforms like YY in China, Afreeca.tv in Korea, or even Twitch here in the US, some of their top broadcasters are pulling in upwards of $20-40K/mo in tips/subscriptions/ads.

@automateiq you should check out the story of Bounty...the app that pivoted top become Periscope

@automateiq Actually, we are working on something like that for last couple of months. About to launch IOS app in a week or so. Early access at StreamLi.com

@yourstrulyconor yes it would
