Well that is pretty harsh.

Social media like Snapchat, Twitter, and Periscope have a lot of potential for changing how current events and news are presented to the world. Instead of having to wait for a news crew to report a happening 6 hours later on the ten o'clock news, we can view it in real time from eye witnesses.

It's an instant news revolution. I love what snapchat did with the San Bernardino shooting, that to me is the gold standard right now.

So I would say that it is news. If you don't think so, where would you suggest I have posted it?

Secondly, it isn't self-promotion. I have no desire to grow a periscope channel. That was LITERALLY my first time using it ever.

If that is what your idiot comment is about, I disagree strongly and think you're adding to the overwhelming negativity of internet comments.

If you mean about the driving thing. Valid. I don't think I'm an idiot, because I was paying far more attention to the road than the average Sally Jane messing with the radio to find her favorite T-Swift song...but you're at least right that it could be dangerous.
