I didn&#x27;t understand Periscope until I saw a mini-celeb use it.  People love it.  It&#x27;s like Snapchat in live group form for celebs.  Like why people love to call into a live radio or TV show.   Regardless of what happens to traditional Twitter, I think Periscope has a lot of room to grow.<p>However, Twitter&#x27;s algo timeline makes it nearly useless to me.  It was already a mess and the linear timeline was the only thing I liked.  The linear timeline would have been manageable if they still allowed third party clients... but I digress.  I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;ll still use it anyway to announce software releases and get customer support from slacking companies.
