I feel the worst for Meerkat. They basically had a few weeks between blowing up huge at SXSW and then getting effectively shut down by Twitter with the launch of Periscope.

No justice in this world.




You had to create an account and I refused. One user lost. Periscope had Twitter accounts at least. I hate creating accounts before seeing the product.


I see it as fair karma. They relied on a Big Bang "lucky event" in SXSW and just as quickly got shut down. Perfect justice.


What? Bad karma for doing PR at a big technology event? Let me guess, you fall into the "anyone doing marketing is bad" camp.


no. what i meant is that they relied on 1 lucky event to get big. and it took just 1 unlucky event to bring them down. so it evens out.
