Meerkat is dying
I had a debate with one of TechCrunch's head editors about the journalistic coverage of Meerkat: https://twitter.com/ryanlawler/status/582547758248136704Coincidentally TechCrunch published a more analytical approach a few hours later: http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/30/schrodingers-meerkat/What really annoys me is that no one took the devil's advocate approach to analyzing Meerkat. "It's a new paradigm in live-streaming," perhaps, but no one has considered that such a paradigm only fits in the narcissistic Silicon Valley culture.Periscope atleast managed to appeal to non-techies, but even then, it appears to have peaked. In the first week of release.There's a nonzero probability that everyone was wrong about personal livestreaming in the first place.
