Never stop Twitching.<\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s livestreaming video service is getting Pulse, an integrated social media feed that expands\u00a0how creators can communicate with viewers. Pulse works like a version of Twitter or Facebook where broadcasters can posts videos, images, text, and more that anyone following them will see. This feature is coming to everyone on Twitch by mid-March, and the company is positioning it as a way for you to continue connecting with people who enjoy your channel even when you\u2019re not livestreaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we\u2019re launching a way to make it easier for streamers and viewers to engage with each other on Twitch, whether a stream is live or not,\u201d Twitch communications pro Sheila Raju wrote in a blog post<\/a>. \u201c[Pulse is] a place where streamers can post and engage with all of their followers and the greater Twitch community right from the Twitch front page. It\u2019s an always-on way to share clips, stream highlights, schedules, photos, and more so followers are more informed, engaged, and connected.\u201d<\/p>\n

For viewers, Pulse will provide a stream of content of all sorts from all of the channels you follow. It\u2019s a way to stay tapped into the service in a way that wasn\u2019t possible before without supplementing with outside services like Twitter or Facebook. And you should expect to see a variety of posts because Twitch is empowering every broadcaster to decide what kind of content they think they should share \u2014 although it does recommend sharing your on-demand videos, changes to your livestreaming schedule, and \u201ccontests, polls, memes, GIFS, and more\u201d ways of keeping your following engaged.<\/p>\n

And really, that\u2019s the big story here: Twitch introduces a new venue for you to share GIFs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
