Periscope features for non-SQL users not strong enough. Looker did a great job of enabling the non-SQL analyst types more familiar with a Tableau like UI.

Keepstream applied for Launch 2.0, hoping to present! But if we don't get in we'd still like to be able to be there and have a table. The people that will be in attendance can't be beat, and we wouldn't want to miss being able to participate!

Keepstream is a social media curation tool that helps you collect tweets, Facebook posts, and website bookmarks, and organize them into shareable, embed-able collection pages. This is useful for bloggers, marketers, or just about anyone who wants to curate the chatter from a conference or event, a news headline, or a hashtag chat. But even simpler than that, you can use it to organize your Twitter favorites and retweets, making it easier to share them with your friends or look them up later.

We are finishing up some great new features that will hopefully be presented at Launch 2.0 - that will make curating and consuming curated content even easier.

That was one of the biggest things I worry about - the learning curve of all the gestures. A mouse and keyboard are quite straightforward in terms of how the operate. A 10GUI interface would require a significant amount of training and practice. At which point maybe yes - it will become completely natural.
