Using pocket was new to me, as I had never used the app or had any idea as to what the purpose of it was. The access to this app was pretty straight forward, you could either download it or view it in web browser. At the time I chose to use the web browser version to make sure I got a good understanding as to how to use it, however I have since downloaded the app version as I find it very useful. After finding an article to read, I then used the share icon on my phone and it gave me the option to save it in the pocket app to carry on reading later. This is a useful piece of technology because you won't always be available to read the article right there and then, for example as a football broadcaster you may be looking at stats for a particular game and may want to save them to view later on, this is where the pocket app would come in to save it which is very easy to do. The app also recommends interesting articles that you may want to read. This is definitely an app I will be using again.

This would be a tool that is right with them whether they are at the game or at home so the fact it is so easy to gain access means it wouldn't be a burden so the extra information the viewers receive is a bonus. During my time of experimenting with Facebook live I find that there are many features to it, such as choosing who can see the video which I think is a good feature, as you will be aiming to reach a specific audience and you can choose who by changing the settings. Overall I think that Facebook live is a good broadcasting to...
