Twitter today opened the attack on the video streaming app Meerkat by bringing out their own version called Periscope. With both apps is possible to live video streaming to your followers, while reactions and Store appear. Quite the same apps are not: there are features that are available in only one of the apps. Reason for us to Periscope Meerkat and comparing what makes both apps really have unique
The differences between Periscope and Meerkat sitting in the details? . Broadly do both apps namely same: to set up a live video stream which everyone can meechatten. The intent of these videos is also almost the same, with portrait videos which appears at the bottom of a stream of messages. Periscope also has no landscape video, but the app cuts no image off as you tilt the iPhone yet. This allows you to Periscope under less than ideal conditions still lying streaming videos. However, users see the interface on its side.

Meerkat’s push messages and tweets
If Meerkat growth of one thing can owe, then it is the large amount automatically sent Push messages and tweets. As a Twitter Friend boot first Meerkat get a message, and each started livestream of friends is also shared with a push notification. This stream is also tweeted automatically, allowing friends to see if they can help out. You say something in a Meerkat chat? Then this message on Twitter as mentionable sent to the person who is streaming. Twitter has limited social opportunities Meerkat, making the app less than before on your Twitter friends know. But there are still lots of broadcast messages.
Periscope is more modest. The app does not tell you if a friend installs the app, but only sends a notification when someone follows you. Chat messages are not tweeted automatically, and you need to manually specify that a periscope-stream should be put on Twitter. Periscope is sending push notifications when someone follows you start a stream, like Meerkat. The latter will only be possible later today:

It seems that Periscope and Meerkat other ways users want to attract. Meerkat occurs in as many ways his best to attract your attention on Twitter and notifications while Periscope much longer rely on a possible advertising push from Twitter. Because Periscope is an official Twitterapp, the social network can promote him more subtle ways.
Live Location
You sees both Meerkat as Periscope where a video is recorded, but the two apps go here both slightly differently. In Meerkat see only one city name, so you know for example that a Meerkat stream occurs in eg Amsterdam, Hilversum and Rotterdam. Periscope shows the necessary additional information, as also by providing a map to the location. You can however Periscope indicate that you do not want to share a location while you Meerkat not possible to turn it off.
Privéstreams in Periscope
Periscope wants to further differentiate with privéstreams. You can specify in an app that only a few selected friends to your video should look, after which they are invited by a push message. It ensures that you can share some more personal events with only a select society, instead of all your followers. When Meerkat is not possible to start a privéstream: once you start filming the video is immediately shared with all your Twitter Followers
look back Livestreams
Both Periscope like Meerkat store a video stream. on after you’ve seen him, but Periscope concerns versatile with care. A video of Periscope is because immediately made available online in the app, so your followers can return him a look. Meerkat stores the video on the iPhone, so you himself must upload to sites like YouTube to share it with your friends afterwards. The online service Katch Meerkat upload videos automatically when they are provided with a special hashtag, but this seems like a perfect solution.
The videos are stored in Periscope also slightly richer than those filled Meerkat. At Periscope see namely while watching a video back what is said in the chat, so you can enjoy the full experience of the live moment. Meerkat at only kept the video itself.
Conclusion
Although Meerkat first made a name for itself with live video streams, Periscope seems to stabbing versatile together. Options such privéstreams and the ability to watch videos later, ensure that you will use this app in more situations. Is that enough to push down the rising Meerkat again? We’ll see.
