@dwaynesamuels Hey! Good question :)
Well, for starters, NomadCast lets you stream to Facebook (& fan pages) - not just Twitter. And on desktops, the inline embed player makes for a pretty awesome viewer experience (we’re working on replicating that on mobile).
And then, I guess it’s mostly a matter of « use case » : Meerkat & Periscope work pretty much the same way Twitch.tv does: by default, your broadcast is public; anyone can see it. So your audience will mostly be people you don’t necessarily know. Viewers will stop by because they got attracted by your stream thumbnail, not necessarily your content - so it’s great if you want to gain new followers. Not really if you want to share content with a restricted audience.
NomadCast works differently: it’s a tool to entertain your existing networks: friends & family if you share on Facebook, professionals/followers if you share on your website or Twitter. You kind of decide who’s going to watch by choosing where to share :)
Hey guys!
Tim, co-founder at NomadCast here - I’m really excited to submit NomadCast to the PH community! Timing is… ah well timing is what it is :)
We’re a team of 5, based out of France, self funded, and we’ve been quietly working on this for the past year (at a time when it was a far less crowded space!).
NomadCast is a neat little app that will let you stream LIVE simultaneously to Facebook, Twitter and any website you want, through embed players. As opposed to other streaming apps, we use landscape format.
The live player is actually embedded *inline* in your social timelines, so your Facebook friends and Twitter followers can watch you live, directly from the posts. And all their social reactions (comments, likes, tweets, retweets, add to favorites) are gathered and displayed real-time in the app, so you can engage with your audience.
Worth noting: you can choose to stream on Facebook as « yourself » or one of the pages you manage - which has been very popular amongst businesses who tried the app.
Last but not least, broadcasts are automatically recorded & saved in the cloud (that can be changed in the settings) - no duration limit nor expiration date, and when the live goes off-air, the player swaps for the recording. So none of your friends will miss the action.
That’s about it for the big picture! We have quite a lot of features to play with (zoom / flash /A/E lock / mute, etc.), as well as a « private mode » and the ability to resume your broadcast anytime.
Think of it as a « tool » to entertain your social circles on different networks. It’s very good at showing stuff to your existing contacts, probably a little less at helping you gain new followers (at least for now).
We’re really looking forward to hearing your feedback! So let us know what you think of it :)
@amphotostudio good question: there's actually no need for separated accounts - NomadCast lists and lets you choose between all the Pages you manage with your personal account.
So you can stream for the brand you want, with a single NomadCast account.
@amphotostudio ah, right, indeed - the current system won't let you link several Twitter accounts to 1 Facebook login.
Put simply 1 NomadCast account = 1 Facebook (can have multiple pages) + 1 Twitter (can't post on anything else).
It's unfortunate that Twitter won't delegate post authorization - we realize it's not optimal if you manage several Twitter brands, so we're looking into improving the system to somehow allow it :)
