As you are fighting for the supremacy of streaming in real time Against Facebook with its "Live" feature, which will soon have a dedicated tab for streams, it is not surprising that Twitter is getting the hang of it and also looking for other ways to emphasize the use of its Periscope, its platform for real-time broadcasts that is on the go. fashion right now.
Twitter mentioned today that it is testing with a small number of Twitter users for Android the "go live" button, which is located next to the basic ones such as attaching an image or recording a video when creating a tweet. Users who have the app installed on their phone are directed to Periscope when they click on the button, while the rest are sent to the store to download the application.
Twitter itself said in the statement that all users will have the ability to start a Periscope from Twitter. An initiative that Twitter was already taking since it acquired Periscope a year ago, an app that was finally "alone" when Meerkat decided to abandon this fight for streaming in real time.
The only thing that happens is that with the arrival of Facebook to streaming In real time with a user base of 1.650 billion people, Twitter needs to find new ways to try to attract more users so that Periscope is not relegated to the background.
Facebook has a larger user base than Twitter, but it will be necessary to see how it is able to adapt the videos in real time, especially in that amount of accumulated streams that can remain on the timeline in several days.
What would be ideal is to explore the way of integrate Periscope on Twitter so as not to have to force users to install this app and in this way they could go directly to streaming without major difficulties. The best of all is that Twitter is working with different news like the one you brought not many days ago.
Prepare mobile data
You have to be careful as with Facebook Live soon. Greetings!
