Periscope vs Meerkat


Closely fought: A woman holds an iPhone with the message 'Smile and say hi! We're live on Periscope!' during a news conference. The two live-streaming apps are still in a neck-and-neck battle for supremacy.

IT IS human nature to want to declare a winner quickly in any battle. VHS defeated Betamax in the videotape format war of the 1980s. More recently, Blu-ray beat HD DVD for supreme high-definition optical disc format.

Now in the world of live-streaming apps and platforms, we have Periscope and Meerkat. Similar yet different, two will go in, and only one will emerge victorious.
