For those of you who saw our previous Periscope “survival guide” blog posts and corresponding broadcasts, if you have been on Periscope since you probably know that there are way more than 13 or 14 types of chatters and scopers…
We here in the Frameable Faces research department have identified NINE more types of chatters and we broadcasted our findings live to a bloodthirsty (and nervous) Periscope audience. We now bring you the YouTube replay of that broadcast along with a list of the chatters we covered. Here is the replay…
Nine More Types Of Chatters…
- The Hijacker – the hijacker will try to take the controls of your broadcast and steer it to a destination of their own choosing. Often shouting in ALL CAPS they will try to promote their website / blog / dog – whatever. Very spammy and potentially blockworthy if they refuse to back off… In a promote-your-scope type of broadcast it’s okay but that’s the only place where it’s appropriate. Side chatters can sometimes combine to unknowingly tread into this dangerous territory.
- The Brown Noser – somewhat self explanatory… the scoper who the brown noser is brown nosing is a GENIUS and every point they make is revelatory…… to the brown noser. Yes it’s okay to be a fan and thank your favorite scopers for their insights, but sheesh – sometimes it’s like Beatles fans on the Ed Sullivan show…
- The Security Guard – the security guard is there to keep potential trolls in line in your scope. They will put smackdowns on inappropriate comments and alert you to whom you should block if you missed it. The security guard can actually be a welcome chatter in your room as long as they aren’t too aggressive and start scaring the other chatters.
- The Aggressive Gamer – often the aggressive gamer is secretly using an external keyboard for faster typing giving them a huge advantage in Periscope games where the first correct answer is the winner. Often these chatters will just start throwing random answers up on the screen as soon as a category is announced before the question is even asked. Thankfully most Perigame show hosts are on to this and won’t award a win until they at least ask the question…
- The Cryptic Chatter – the cryptic chatter can cause chaos on a broadcast by confusing the heck out of the scoper with comments that usually relate to something said at least 30 seconds before and they put zero context in their comment like “Oh yeah sometimes for sure” or “Exactly – I HATE that”. You must call out the cryptic chatter with a passive aggressive remark to let them know not-so-subtly that you have no idea what the heck they are talking about. The problem as a scoper is the extra second you take to decipher the cryptic comment keeps you a half step behind the next comment that actually contributes to the conversation.
- The Brand Newbie – we hug the brand newbie, we embrace the brand newbie. The Periscope community is a welcoming community of early adopters and when you see a brand newbie who tentatively enters a room with an egghead profile you should be nice to them.
- The Eggspert – no one likes an eggspert. The problem with the eggspert is they have no credibility – they show up in a room and start commenting in an authoritative way like they have a ton of knowledge, and yet they can’t figure out one of the first rules and that is to get a profile avatar – a photo, a logo – something other than an egg. It is perfectly okay for all chatters in the room to shame the eggspert. NOTE: Credit goes to Periscope star @MalinMOcean who coined the term “eggspert” in our broadcast when we referred to this chatter as the “no-credibility chatter”.
- The Spillover Commenter – this chatter breaks their comments up into multiple comment bubbles, often because they can’t boil it down to the three lines allowed in the app. This is usually a problem because the second part of the comment comes too long after the first part which can confuse the scoper and make the second part of the comment look like the work of a cryptic chatter.
- The Fat Finger – autocorrect is the bane of the fat finger’s existence. Whether due to carelessness, hurried commenting, or actual fat fingers, the fat finger chatter is often put into embarrassing situations by comments gone horribly wrong… we’ve ALL been there.
So there you go – nine more types of chatters for you to be aware of! Here are the links to the previous posts, and there is at least one more to come!
