periscope and meerkat

The competition to be the best live streaming broadcast app rages on between the top players in the market right now: Periscope and Meerkat.

Just as Periscope announced this week that people can watch replays of live broadcast on their desktops this week, today Meerkat posted on Medium that it has enabled an embed feature so users can embed their replays on their own websites.

Game changers are both announcements. The two services keep one upping each other. For bloggers, marketers, content curators and those who use their streams for educational and training purposes, we must say the embed function is quite amazing.

Get your own embeddable player at meerkatapp.co/embedIt becomes your own personal channel. It’s easy to install, and you have three sizes to choose from, the app maker explains in its announcement. Good stuff.

All of this is great for consumers and users of both and it is also the BEST example of the value and importance of market competition.

In the end, users and consumers are rewarded with increasing and exponentially greater services.

Keep it coming, guys!
