How to Catch More Buzz with beBee Live Video
In case you haven’t noticed, live streaming is all the rage these days.
But not every social media site offers free live video, which is fast becoming part and parcel of the digital landscape. That's why it just makes good sense to diversify your social media experience by leveraging the Live Buzz mobile app on award-winning startup beBee Affinity Social Network.
- Two-year old beBee currently has over 12 million users in 100 countries and was named a potential "unicorn" startup in Europe by TheNextWeb.
The Live Buzz feature on beBee allows you to stream your best moments, amplify your message and promote your personal brand with 100% organic reach. That means when you stream a beBee Live Buzz your entire network is automatically notified to supersize engagement -- which you won't find on every social platform. Moreover, you can post your Live Buzz in up to three hives (open groups) to reach hundreds of thousands of additional beBee users worldwide.
- DYK? Live streaming is already the No. 1 trend on social media, according to a variety of sources citing recent statistics.
- Check out this user-friendly step-by-step guide on how to stream with beBee Live Buzz.
In fact, it's possible that one day soon we will all be using live video to communicate with one another, as the digital technology of today quickly becomes antiquated tomorrow.
Ultimately, live video might replace more traditional forms of communication such as email, texts and voice-only phone calls. If we've learned anything about new technology in the 21st century Information Age it's that disruptive innovation can't be stopped. Further, new technologies are being born at lightening speed.
Today's tech rule for consumers is simple: out with the old and in with the new. The only constant is change. But those who remain tethered to the status quo will find themselves living in yesteryear due to the growth of new high-tech tools in our fluid mobile, digital and virtual world.
Those who fail to leverage the power of fast-growing social media startups, like beBee, will never know how much organic reach and additional engagement they're missing.
Emergence of Online Video
The rise of online video was revolutionized by the commercialization of the basic webcam in 1994.
Then, about a decade later, Skype (2003) and YouTube (2005) were launched with much fanfare. They served as springboards for the proliferation and popularity of online video at the dawn of a new millennium.
Fast forward to present day (more stats):
The advent of online video has recently reinvented itself once again with live streaming via mobile apps. This is evidenced by the increasing demand for, and broad use of, such popular mobile apps like Periscope, plus Facebook Live...and now beBee Live Buzz.
Here's a bold prediction: live video is not only the future of social media but, ultimately, of all digital communication.
This is due to new and emerging technologies which will cause all of our current stand alone tech to become increasingly interconnected via the Internet of Things (IoT) -- which is already integrating many digital devices.
In addition to the IoT, the forthcoming high-tech communications convergence will be revolutionized by rapid advances in:
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Automation and machine learning
- Quantum computing
- Nanotechnology, and
- New versions of the cloud
All of the above will have a radical impact on the way we communicate, including via mobile live video. But guess what? The future is now!
Final Thoughts
All social media users, especially those who love live video, can catch more buzz on emerging startups like beBee Affinity Social Network. However, it's important to recognize this doesn't mean abandoning social media mainstays like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
Rather, expand your reach, amplify your message, and enhance your personal brand on new and promising platforms. This is not an either/or proposition. Moreover, LinkedIn, for example, is still rolling out native video for uploading 15 years after launching!
What's taking LinkedIn so long to jump on the video bandwagon, much less with live streaming? One would think that paid premium users on LinkedIn would at least have access to such mainstream live video technology in 2017, especially with live video being the leading social media trend.
Don’t put all of your social media eggs into only a few age-old baskets.
In essence, the proliferation of live video raises a basic question:
Why would anyone fail to leverage a free live streaming mobile app in the 21st century Digital Age?
The short answer: there is no good answer!
That why it makes solid social media sense to enhance your personal brand, expand your engagement and reach new target audiences with live streaming on beBee.

Thanks for the excellent points, Lisa. Also, I really like your idea for a new Live Buzz and think that Paul \ and others might also want to wow us with a similar Live Buzz featuring their culinary creations -- or to promote a buzzing blog about this cooking and/or food related posts. Great thinking, as usual, Lisa! Many thanks.

Thank YOU, Proma Nautiyal, for all of your exemplary engagement and blogging buzz. You've become quite a hit on beBee and one the leading Millennial bees in India. Of course, you can always cite anything I write here. No need to ask. I feel flattered that you would include me in your post. Also, if you have a mobile with ios or android you should download the "Live Buzz" app and consider doing a short intro "Live Buzz" about yourself and why you love beBee. This could be as short as 1-minute or less. Just food for thought to take your talents to the next level. Carpe diem and Vamos!!!!!

@stephan metral 🐝 Innovative Brand Ambassador. I'm still patiently waiting for YOUR first Live Buzz, my friend. Should we BEE expecting it any time soon? Lance \ud83d\udc1d Scoular -- have all done Live Buzzes (as have other brave bees). Thus, please step up to the plate, Stephan, and hit a home run. The buzz about YOUR video buzz (whether live or YouTube) has been building for months and we can't wait much longer...

Chas \u270c\ufe0f Wyatt Your important insights and constructive feedback are appreciated, as always. Chas: First, Vine was not the same as Live Buzz or other video streaming apps/features. Vine only allowed Twitter users to share very short videos of about 10 seconds which then ran in a loop. Second, live video streaming is certainly not for everyone, just as blogging is not for everyone. Third, Live Buzz is nonetheless an excellent social media feature to have available -- for which Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee and his team deserve much praise. Fourth, I could certainly understand why you might not be impressed with my own personal live videos. This is because I am not telegenic and have always been a print media person, not an on-camera guy. Yet many others have done excellent Live Buzzes which are instructional, informative, educational and good viewing. Lastly, the fact is that online video, including live video, is the leading social media trend as noted above, in the future of online digital communications. Thus, while I certainly respect and value your feedback, I also respectfully disagree with it. Thank you for considering these points, Chas, and keep buzzing. Your contributions to beBee are exemplary and always appreciated.
