Hey, reporters! I had something to share with you guys, but the story isn’t quite out yet, so I’ve got a little something to hold us over:
You’re probably aware of Facebook Live, so I won’t go into the in’s and out’s of that. But did you know you can find a map of all the Facebook live events going on around the world?
Facebook has something called the Live Map, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
I’m gonna admit, it’s a little glitchy. Probably because there are so many Facebook users and so many live videos going on at one time that they seemed to flicker in and out while I was clicking around the Gulf coast.
It opens on your location, of course (stay creepy, Fb!), but you can use it to, say, get some live reactions on news events around the world. Good luck, reporters!
