Poor of those apps that are thought to have a better future when they are acquired by the big names in technology, because there are many that finally go into decline as happened with Sunrise Calendar or even with a Persicope that could have her days numbered, since this same one was acquired in its day by Twitter in order to offer the option to the social network of micro-messages to fight in a face-to-face with Meerkat, the one that also disappeared and that held a fairly important share or position when streaming in direct began to become popular.
Twitter added not long ago a "live streaming" button on the composition screen of a tweet. By clicking on that button, it would take you directly to the Persiscope app. Today Twitter has been updated to allow you start streaming in real time without even having to leave the application. This can mean several things, but it is clear that many will forget about Periscope, even if it is the best to find the best streaming content in real time. We'll see where things go.
With this new update, almost everything remains the same. You compose a tweet, click on the camera icon and select the button «broadcast live». You select a name for the broadcast and click on the appropriate button to go live. Periscope is not needed at any time, but it is Twitter itself that says that the app is still the best space to search and discover live content. However, for most people there is no reason to have the Periscope app installed on the terminal.
We're making it easier for you to share what's happening in your world. Now you can #GoLive on Twitter!https://t.co/frWuHaPTFJ pic.twitter.com/Xpfpk1zWJV

This movement is a effective response against Facebook Live. Twitter has been adding content of this type in order not to leave all the streaming space to Facebook. The idea is that when you think of Twitter, you also think that you can make streaming video.
