The battle of the mobile livestreaming apps has begun.
The past two weeks saw apps Meerkat and Periscope take over the Internet.
From a reinvention of a failing video startup, Meerkat went full blast when Hollywood fell in love with it.
Not long after, Periscope picked up when Twitter bought it.
Rappler took the apps for a spin.
First, Meerkat, and then there’s Periscope
The functionality of both apps are uncannily similar, from the chat feature to web viewing but Periscope has the advantage over Meerkat because of Twitter.
This puts Meerkat in a vulnerable position if Periscope’s mother company Twitter decides to block Meerkat’s API.
But it’s still too early to predict which will last. – Rappler.com
