Wow. So we all found a few weeks ago that Periscope has reached 10 million users. How very cool.
In the last post I talked a bit out Periscope itself – and how cool I think it is. Now I figured I’d share my favourite scopers with you.
So here’s my recommendations of Periscopers to check out – in no particular order (as you can see these are categorised, however some of the categories overlap so I chose the best fit):
Location scopes:
Claire Waddington @clairewad : Daily scopes from a Paris tour guide, and all-around lovely Kiwi.
Melvinio @melvinio : Daily scopes of Melvinio and his dog Kookai (aka the pee factory) in The French Alps. #lovely!
