@bentossell thanks for a very valid question :-) First, I think both @periscopeco and @appmeerkat are awesome apps and they've been doing amazing things for the live video space (plus @benrbn is a great guy :-) ). We think competition is good and that it will push everyone to create better products -> better for the end users. We're looking to take Birdplane in a slightly different direction than Meerkat and Periscope. We're starting by adding multidirection text chat, ability to keep chatting post live broadcast, storing of videos for as long as you want and local saving of your live stream in HD. We want to create something that makes sharing experiences more fun and sparks conversations. Outlined our thinking a bit more at http://bit.ly/1T5J0Cn - At the end of the day, people using (or not using) the app will decide if our vision is any good :-) Would be honoured if you gave it a spin and love to get any feedback - @jonasvig / jonas@bambuser.com
