Summary

  • Twitter bought Periscope for under $100 million.

  • The livestreaming engagement metrics are very promising and could provide a huge boost to the struggling user metrics at Twitter.
The news of the month is that Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) is taking the next step to becoming a real-time broadcast service with the purchase of live-streaming app Periscope for under $100 million. The new app will allow the social media service to provide users the ability to broadcast the news, instead of just reporting on it in 140 characters or a short video clip.
