I think accounts of Meerkat's life and death are both being greatly exaggerated here. It's a contender, it now has a war chest, lets see what the guys can do with it.
And I think it's unfair to suggest they just "cashed in" for the quick buck.
- malloreon 12y agoI'm gonna go ahead and guess twitter's "war chest" is a little bigger than Meerkat's.
- bigdubs 12y agoI'm gonna go ahead and guess that those things aren't really comparable.
- clay_to_n 12y agoAren't they, when Twitter now owns Meerkat's competitor Periscope?
- bigdubs 12y agoHow different teams use money is not comparable. Meerkat is a small team, 14mm is a huge amount for them. Twitter is a huge company. It is unclear how these things would be used to benchmark one or the other.
