Meerkat finally comes on the Google Play Store

The good news for Android users who want to participate in the craze that is sweeping the livestreaming Twitter, Meerkat, has officially make its appearance on the Google Play Store with a beta application. His main rival, Periscope, belonging to Twitter, still only available on iOS for now.

The Android version of Meerkat was previously available in closed beta, but the full version does not require an invitation and adds more features.

If you have not heard of these applications, be aware that both Meerkat and Periscope allow you to broadcast live video to all your subscribers (followers) on Twitter. The services were launched in a few weeks. Meerkat is pushed by an independent outsider startup while Periscope has weight behind Twitter - the solution itself comes from a startup that Twitter has acquired.

Meerkat has been put forward in relation to Periscope, but this is an application that provides a better experience, and is more feature rich, and who pulls the strings Twitter to promote his own service, Meerkat has a true competitor . Be available to millions of users running Android devices is a great advantage that will count in his favor.

Twitter has already restricted access to their social graph for Meerkat - which means you can not automatically add your friends on Twitter Meerkat. But despite these limitations, the CEO, Ben Rubin, remains optimistic.


Only beta currently

When you are dependent on the platform someone else for your business - be it Twitter, Facebook, Google or anyone else - to cope with changes of this platform is your worst enemy. So far it seems that Meerkat does everything to keep growing, even if the cards argue for Periscope.

If you're on Android, you can now see what everyone is talking, even if you can not try Periscope. Note that the application is currently in beta, so you might encounter a few bugs.
