The early adopter buzz around the launches of the live video streaming apps Meerkat and Twitter-acquired Persicope have so far failed to translate into meaningful real world adoption. But these User Generated Broadcast (UGB) apps have undoubted potential. Currently, live streaming video has two core user groups: early technology adopters and gaming fans (the latter especially through sites such as Twitch). Facebook’s decision to incorporate live video streaming into its verified user app Facebook Mentions could be the impetus the technology needs to bring it to a wider audience.
