Periscope's Parachute TV Brings Scheduled Programming To Live Streaming: Can It Save Twitter?


For Periscope corporate parent Twitter, it's not all about fun and games. The stakes couldn't be higher for the microblogging platform as it struggles to grow its user base. On Monday, Twitter shares hit a record low, down to $29.10 at one point. Twitter interim CEO Jack Dorsey has hinted at a number of new features to revive the site, with some of them centered around live events and content. But success is far from guaranteed. Google's YouTube, among others, are also stepping up live-streaming efforts, and Facebook is experimenting with more video offerings. - Kerry Flynn, International Business Times [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
