BLAB … The New LIVE Social Discussion Platform
Blab is an exciting new LIVE Social Discussion Platform.
Are you familiar with the mobile presentation platforms of Meerkat and Periscope?
Well, BLAB … is a “new twist” on a familiar concept.
Here are the simiarities:
Periscope, Meerkat, Go-To-Webinar, Google Hangouts, and BLAB …
are all “presentation platforms”.
Some of the distinct differences that set the BLAB formar apart are:
(1)
Periscope and Meerkat are primarily for single presenters, using a mobile device (generally a phone).
So, we can call this persentation format … “one-to-many”
In Periscope and Meerkat, you the presenter, are single-handedly presenting your ideas to a audiences, as a monologue …
your audience does have access to a comment stream, to interact with you, but the comments often stream by too quickly for you to truly “engage” with what your audience is saying.
Once the conversation ends, there may or not be the option to upload to youtube for later viewing by your audience.
It is designed to “catch your thoughts” …in the present moment.
(2)
Go-To-Webinar, Google Hangouts, and other “Livestream Webcast” platforms do allow you to have a more “formal, scripted” presentation with your audience.
It is designed for screenshare and powerpoint with one presenter having the “controls” of the presentation, at any given time.
The audience can be given a voice, and allowed to speak …
during a Go-to-Webinar presentation.
In Google Hangouts, up to 10 “panelists” share a panel discussion, with the only audience interaction ocurring thru a “viewer LIVE commenting” feature.
Full screenshare capabilities for each panelist.
No vocal commenting from the audience … just text.
Use BLAB To Increase Engagement With Your Target Audience
Blab is a exciting platform that places a host and up to 3 other presenters in a 4-square format.
All 4 panelists have the ability to speak, just as though they were sitting at a table.
The “twist” … is that the viewing audience sees the presenters, but have every opportunity that their written “comment stream” will have equal or more impact as content, within the context of the overall conversation.
BLAB … is a new “real-time” LIVE video platform for discussions on topics that matter … with people who care.
One of the things that gives this platfrom so much widepsread appeal, is the facet that ANYONE can find a BLAB discussion, and enter ito the conversation as part of the audience.
Sometimes, you catch extremely high-level topics, with very highprofile industry experts, public officials, entertainers … all taking one of the panelist seats and joining in on an important conversation.
Even more dynamic … is the fact that the audience is typing in comments that are so powerful, that the comments actually “shape the conversation” … and give tremendous “value” to the overall dialogue.
BLAB … can be an extremely powerful platfrom for BRANDS to engage directly with their customer-base, and convert customers into ADVOCATES.
