Wow this is a killer feature. I never knew snap had this. Maybe it can replace twitter.


view as:

> this is a killer feature

Too soon.


Here I thought snapchat was on the out - this feature alone absolutely dominates Periscope for me. I just had no idea it existed.

That's one of the common complaints of snapchat. I'd bet most people that even use snapchat don't even know how to get to this feature in the app. It was released some time last year without much press (I think they did a self-snap story about it) and even took me a couple tries to figure out how to get there when I knew about it. There's literally no way of knowing that view exists without just knowing it or accidentally triggering it, and I didn't even know there was a web interface for it.

Indeed a great feature, and I just learned of it here - thx!

This is an excellent way to visualize and surface relevant/interesting network activity. Good work


Probably a bad context to use the phrase "killer feature".

Improbably bad context, I would say.

Not to cast aspersions; I think many of us make use of dark humor to get through the worst times.

If the cacophony current information age may push for a interest in regaining precise language, both as a way imposing a sense of shared consciousness and communicative skill, as a way to regain a sense of meaning and order within. I sincerely hope some of the media embrace similar ideals as something other than an experiment or side project.
