What is periscope and why twitter bought it?

Hi Guys! "live streaming" is the new buzzword in the internet lately, live streaming apps are exciting when watching a live concert for free, the feeling is kind of cool while experiencing the user interface of Periscope of Meerkat.

About Periscope

Periscope was founded in February 2014. Beykpour and  Joe Bernstein are the founders of Periscope.

Periscope is a mobile teleportation service similar to its competitor Meerkat. Periscope allow its users to live stream anthing from their smartphones, viewers can comment ask questions or like, the user interface is pretty awesome, aspecially with all the comments appering in the screen as you watch a live stream, I dont mind using the App for hours just simply asmiring the beauty of the App's design. Its only available in IOS devices at the moment.

Periscope's key features

Periscope's best features are hearts, its like avirtual round of applause to show apprecation to streamers. Notification fuction, which alerts user's whenever there is a scheduled streaming, its functions are believed to be fully based on twitter.

Why did twitter bought Periscope for 100 million?

Yes, Periscope was bought for 100 million dollar, it all happened due the huge traffic Markeet App created in twitter, twitter was quite important for Markeet to run its activities, it 

is believed that twitter has shut all the integrations with Markeet. Then twitter bought Periscope, an  App was not even live when twitter splashed that kind of money, it looks like twitter saw the urgency in getting into the live streaming trend to clinch market shares.

You might be wondering, that these live streaming Apps could be useless or flop, as i do personally think that the App is pureply based on user's influence as they have the freedom to do anything with it, these Apps reputations depends on how the users use them.

"Instead of Youtube, where a viewing experience was passive, Periscope was active, Viewers could comment , ask questions, and heart broadcasts in real time" said Beypour, co-founder of Periscope.
