Live video streaming apps have taken the internet by storm.  Meerkat and Periscope allow you to capture and broadcast live video, with your smartphone.

Meerkat first made waves at 2015 South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, where it was used in conjunction with live sessions.
Periscope soon followed with a prominent source of support: Twitter , which acquired it. Both are aggressively competing to become the dominant tool for video streaming, much as Facebook’s Instagram has for photo sharing.

This is your chance to be a pioneer in your niche and build the first live streaming app for your community.
