I still remember years ago in the Twitter lunchroom when @jess said "wanna see something cool?" & showed me a pre-launch version Periscope on her phone.

I don't ever remember understanding & liking a product so quickly. Under 10 seconds.

Periscope lives on inside of Twitter. ? https://t.co/TF4kYJrPPU

Farewell, Periscope! I’ll always fondly remember being called “ugly” by random strangers who were disappointed that my appearance didn’t meet their masturbatory needs. https://t.co/GNZPTYi9u4

Periscope was the first live streaming platform I joined 5 years ago & it helped a career change, bring my art to a global audience, grow confidence in public speaking & so much more!

I’ve met the team in SF a number of times & made many epic community connections. Thank you! ? https://t.co/uITYKfL0FF

After over 5 years, we’re saying goodbye to the Periscope app (by March 2021). We shared detail on why we made this decision and some of the steps we’re taking to support the Periscope community through this transition in this blog post: https://t.co/E8YPrjwzfn

This app changed my life in many ways. I’ve grown so much through streaming on there. Sad, but change is for the good. I’ve met some of the most amazing people who will be a part of my life forever. Thanks for all the love. ? https://t.co/ZJLae73mjF

It’s official: Twitter is killing Periscope because it’s been “in an unsustainable maintenance-mode state, and has been for a while.” https://t.co/SlalDdE5aP

The last six years of Periscope have been an enormous amount of fun, first building the app with an incredibly smart team, and then watching it being used and enjoyed around the world. https://t.co/Q2NHWhPdQb

Some personal news: the Periscope app will be going away next year. We’re here to say goodbye. ?

We appreciate all the support, learnings, and broadcasts from our vibrant creator community. More on our difficult decision to discontinue the app: https://t.co/jZWjDlsRHk (1/2) pic.twitter.com/Kfgvocq31O

What an incredible ride ❤️????. I led the acquisition of Periscope and even tho the app winding down feels like an ending, @kayvz & the team brought Twitter video to life and innovated immensely on the whole consumer product. Their impact is beyond even our ambitious visions. https://t.co/cJINjbRESd

Same way they killed Vine. Facebook should have discontinued Instagram using this logic. https://t.co/gqvWk02PNj

throwback to the epic ‘scope days

i did over 1,000 broadcasts and made some awesome connections

shoutout to the dirty 30/40, and nifty 50

sad to see this go but sign of the times https://t.co/xm5n5qTwiY

Why does Twitter keep killing amazing brands like @PeriscopeCo and @vine??????

The entire strategy from YouTube to Instagram and now SLACK is keep these things separate and let them thrive! https://t.co/XcYVfsXW7Z

Twitter shutting down Periscope has echoes of them shutting down Vine only for TikTok to basically fill that niche with 60 second instead of 6 second videos. Wonder if this opens up an opportunity for a standalone live streaming app for generation verzuz?https://t.co/noLBrRfSFU

In one of the biggest booms in video consumption, @Twitter can't give away its video streaming platform. @Twitch grew 26% to 41 million in the US alone, with many just chatting & music. Such a colossal management failure. Shareholders need to be asking serious questions here. https://t.co/J4qaUigJjq

Make sure your hard work is never lost.

Another example of why email lists are so important to creators.

Aww, sad news. Memories of so many fun #Periscope videos with @arishapiro traveling around the UK, giving the behind the scenes on stories about Brexit, elections, North Sea Cod, the Indyref, Irish same-sex marriage vote, and so many more!https://t.co/gYUADwbWp5
