Twitter bought Periscope after Meerkat got press, although it may not have been a cause-and-effect relationship. (M&As take time.)

EDIT: See joeblau's comment below.

I think Twitter bought Periscope (In January Sometime) before Meerkat launched (Early March), but Twitter didn't disclose the acquisition until after Meerkat launched (Mid March).
