Maybe we'll get better analytics but I find livestream > cable TV totally plausible.

Periscope is only livestream platform that doesn't move metric from Viewers to *Views* once stream is over. 1/2

But if you add up "Viewers" from their scopes shortly after event concludes, it's decent proxy for "Views." (for that timeframe) 2/2

That stat says 'tweets with Periscope have been viewed' which doesn't even imply active attention or plays, right?

@Chronotope Sure. But totals aso add up via the media ecology. During "Arab Spring", Al Jazeera picked up social media feeds, like CSPAN.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

At time they tweeted it, based on displayed Viewer count (still visible) I just don't think it got to 1M. 1/2

Periscope has new option to let recordings stay up. Hope they enabled it. (And Views will grow) 2/2

True, even harder to assess long-tail impact of these videos without a lot more time.

It transforms the whole ecology; nothing stays the same. Much bigger deal than view count but harder to assess.

I totally concur. It also transforms what can be considered effective politics and protest.

Youtube told me years ago that within an hour of anything major almost *anywhere" they get footage.
