The Meerkat Map


Links to alive video streams on Periscope occasionally pop-up on my Twitter wall. However past times the fourth dimension I acquire or so to clicking on the links the streams are ever over. I get got hence genuinely never seen a alive Periscope video broadcast.

I sympathise that Periscope genuinely has a map of currently alive streams on its iOS app. That would hold upwards keen if I genuinely owned an iOS device. I can't help thinking that at that topographic point must hold upwards many people similar me who would hold upwards tempted to download a Periscope app if Periscope genuinely had to a greater extent than of a spider web presence.

This seems to hold upwards a lesson learnt past times 1 of Periscope's master copy competitors, Meerkat. The Meerkat spider web homepage provides a listing of currently alive streams. There is too the MeerkatMap, created amongst the Meerkat API.

The MeerkatMap is a keen means to uncovering alive video streams past times location. Markers on the map present the electrical flow alive streams as well as yous tin sack click-through to lookout adult man whatever broadcast alive on the Meerkat website. The map sidebar too includes a listing & links to alive video streams amongst no place data.

Revealing the place of alive Meerkat streams plainly has some privacy issues. I don't know if the MeerkatMap has taken whatever steps to commencement the exact place of the streams beingness shown. However if yous are a Meerkat user so yous mightiness desire to suit your place settings inwards the app itself.
