Media reported in recent days that in February Twitter acquired Periscope, a service that is used to broadcast live video.


Twitter seeks to take advantage of growing trend
Apparently Twitter wants to take advantage of the growing trend of users broadcasting live video .

For example, services like Meerkat, which allow you to start a broadcast immediately, notifying users via Twitter, have been very successful . This app also allows you to schedule a broadcast for another time, and also notifies the account's followers when it starts via Twitter.

Periscope, in beta
The startup Periscope, created by Kayvon Beykpour and Joe Telegram Number Data Bernstein, is a company that is developing a mobile app for live video streaming. The app has not yet been released to the public and is in beta for some selected users.

According to US media, the social network would have paid 100 million, in cash and shares, for the acquisition . The deal was made in secret and closed last month.


It had initially been rumored that Twitter wanted to acquire Meerkat, as it had attracted the attention of the technology community .

In fact, it is believed that Twitter has not announced its acquisition precisely because Meerkat, which was recently launched and went viral , is currently stealing the spotlight.

It is not yet known whether Periscope will remain independent. Twitter acquired Vine before it launched, but kept the product as a stand-alone app . However, the social network is following a consistent path, as the ability to record and share video on Twitter began to be enabled a month ago.



This acquisition highlights how focused the company is on adding moving images to its offerings.
