Meerkat live streaming app launches on Android

Live streaming events and happenings is the new in thing these days. Meerkat, the app that revolutionized the way video content is now shared, has landed on Android before Twitter’s alternative Periscope app. It is available in the Play Store for free as a beta app.

As live broadcasting yourself becomes more and more mainstream with high speed data connectivity and more powerful phones in the market, apps like Meerkat have this sharing fad to the next level. With Meerkat, you can live stream video right from your phone to your followers on Twitter, or even on Meerkat if your followers have the app installed.

Meerkat’s features, as described by the company’s app listing on the Play Store:

• Everything that happens on Meerkat happens on Twitter.
• Streams will be pushed to followers in real time via push notifications.
• People can only watch it live. There are no reruns.
• You can save your streams to your phone, but Meerkat will never keep them.
• Watchers can retweet any stream to their followers in real time.
• Everyone can watch on web.
