Well, it seems that all social networks are going to welcome the video streaming capability live. A trend that we are seeing on Facebook and that for the first time came from Meerkat for Periscope, after being acquired by Twitter, to put the batteries and take away that domination that it held when there were not many who offered to make live broadcasts .
Tumblr has mentioned that today it would be launching this type of service. Several reports suggest that while Tumblr has not declared anything officially, there are several virals that are proposing that they are also joining this current trend of offering this type of functionality to their users. So today or throughout this week, Tumblr users could take advantage of this new feature to launch live streaming.
A series of posts have been launched on Tumblr through a unofficial account in which you can see "Live Video on Tumblr". So to compete with other services like Twitter's Periscope, Facebook Live, and many others, Tumblr has come to the decision to have its own Live Video on Tumblr service. This will be launched under that name and will be available with a series of live broadcasts to show its virtues and benefits.
So there is still Tumblr to get ready to offer official details about this offer in video. It will be through these retransmissions in which someone launches the final announcement, which will allow it to be placed in a quite special position as it is one of the current reference services. Surely Periscope like Facebook will not like to hear this arrival of another one that joins that "Trending topic".
