Hi Kerri and others, Maybe somebody can enlighten me with respect to Periscope, but I downloaded the app a week or two ago and checked it out, but all I could find were weird streams of people sitting in a bar, preaching fire and brimstone or doing whatever, certainly nothing interesting from maybe official news sources which I might want to watch/waste my time on. Am I not seeing where to find such official content or is Periscope just a bunch of regular people who sometimes just want to stream what they are doing so others can watch it?

Hi Everyone: I love watching live streams and have been a huge fan of the Periscope app since I discovered it last year. Back on April 6, Facebook held a newsconference and put out a press release saying they were going to be rolling out all kinds of new features for Facebook Live. I was so excited about the new features. Apparently you will get alerted when people go live. There will be a new live tab where you can explore current live streams that are going on across the world. You can go live in groups and events so your live broadcast can be seen by people in a certain group or event. You can invite friends to view your live broadcast. I was so so so excited. I love Periscope so I thought awesome with the new live features I can watch all kinds of live streams. This was back on April 6. I still haven't gotten these new features yet. I see no live tab. I don't get any alerts when people go live. Does anyone have this new feature yet? How did you know when you got it? Where is the new live tab located? Is Facebook still rolling this out? Since the April 6 announcement, there have been two updates to the Facebook app and I have updated both times hoping the new update will contain the new live features. Anyone know what is going on? For those of you who have these new features how did you know when you got them? Sorry if this message seems strange. I was just so excited about these new live features and I haven't gotten them. I also keep seeing how tons of people are live streaming with these new features and I feel like I am missing out!
