What is Meerkat?
Meerkat is a new app and social media integrated with Twitter. It allows you to live stream video and sound through your smartphone. This essentially turns every smartphone user into a T.V broadcaster. Conveniently, meerkat directly links with Twitter accounts, letting people stream a live video to their followers on Twitter.
Imagine this: You are walking down the street and you see a movie being filmed with Hugh Jackman as wolverine! Instead of whipping out your phone and recording a video, you stream the video directly to all your Twitter followers. They jump in the stream and see Hugh Jackman as wolverine do an awesome stunt, in real time! Your followers get excited and share your stream and more people join. Eventually you have hundreds (or thousands) people watching the action from your phone…
