Anyone used either? I have both. That Periscope is the official Twitter variant is probably a slight plus.

I'm following you on Periscope @iacas , I had both, but deleted Meerkat as there was more variety and better discoverability on Periscope as much as I wanted to support the independent developer of Meerkat.

When I got Periscope, a huge gas explosion happened nearby so I watched the live coverage on and it was eye opening, the fact you're live broadcasting from your smartphone. Could be useful for course video logs. It's kind of like unlimited length live Vine.

I'd be useful if there was a stream to Roku/Chromecast/STB option.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'd be tempted to use it during a lesson today, but I don't want other people I don't know popping in. :)

Yeah, you can't limit who views it which I understand - defeats the social aspect. Would be cool for something like hey what am I doing wrong with this swing impromptu cast if your pro happen to be free for a sec. I bet someone already used it in this fashion already.

I've got both, not that I've used them much.  Since Meerkat got locked out of the Twitter API it's hard to find people there, so I've mostly been using Periscope.
