An app which allows instant streaming to your twitter followers, notifies them of the broadcast, and, you know, does most of what Periscope does, just a little less intuitively. And it uses Twitter for ‘live conversations’ while you're broadcasting, so it spams everyone, rather than containing it to the broadcast like Periscope does.

Oh, and about 5% as popular as Periscope, but it was MeerKat which got all the popular press about how awesome it is, plus landed 14 million in venture capitol just days after it crashed off the top 1,000 app downloads.

Goes well to show what happens when you line up a whole lot of tech press into believing you've got awesome sauce, and fail to gain traction..

That explains it, I’m not on Twitter, nor do I have any desire to be. It reminds me of the old pre-DejaNews news groups, but without the sense of organization. ;’)
