Press: The new ‘Twitter 'to gather gamers through Twitch

When the Amazon shopping giant acquired Twitch, the video game streaming platform, it focused not only on the notoriety of e-sports but on the large community that has been generated around it, following that same premise , they have been boosting their chats during live game broadcasts and now they have just gone further by presenting a new social network, Pulse.

This is a network very similar to Twitter that aims to bring together all fans of video game broadcasting through Twitch so they can talk about various topics such as the first days of the Orange Super League or the launch of the Nintendo Switch. Therefore, a new rival has just emerged from the bluebird microblogging network; Thematic yes, but with number of followers that does not stop growing.

The main reason for its launch is that the chats that Twitch offered so far only allowed to comment on the matches live and when they ended, the interaction between users also ended.However, in Pulse can announce events, share photographs or videos from Vimeo , YouTube, Twitch itself and from Imgur and Gfycat, as in most popular social networks.

In addition, Amazon intends that streamers who share their games and other content through Twitch, have the opportunity to show other facets of their day to day to their followers and try to increase the audience.

Therefore, Pulse status updates will also appear on the Twitch homepage. Also, this new social network will have a section similar to that of LinkedIn news.Switch wants to create a news feed so that users do not miss the news of their followed, their comments posted and their streaming.

Finally, one of the issues that distinguish Pulse from its competitors Facebook and Twitter is that the publications appear on its wall in reverse chronological order.
