@rrhoover I never feel like it's about seeing celebrities. I want celebrities to SEE ME. I have the same personal goals as any brand: I want awareness and affinity if I can get it. I want celebs to know I exist, and if possible, affirm something about me or agree with me or validate me in any small way. To me, this "innovation" works in reverse. A better use of Lester's time is to take short video calls with fans.
@nrose @rrhoover this is a really interesting insight. I think @ryanleslie is approaching it more like you're suggesting and it's working well. If celebrities want to create lifelong fans/customers they MUST acknowledge their fans existence, dreams, hopes, fears...
@jackzerby agreed. @ryanleslie's DMM Superphone platform is really interesting. SMS is underrated, imo.

Facebook Livestreaming Opens Up to Everyone With an iPhone

My hunt was just taken off the homepage... but this is live for everyone in the U.S. now, not just celebrities.
I'm curious why they only seem to target public figures right now. I would love for my live streams to show up in my friend's Facebook newsfeed.
I feel most people use Facebook to see friends and "check in" not sure if I am interested in hanging out to watch celebs talk about stuff, feel like a separate platform. Surprised Facebook did not jump on the live video bandwagon sooner, they usually copy something working well, then the FB copy dies a few months later lol. but hey looks cool no the less.
