when people I follow on meerkat start streaming, I get a push notification from the app. I don't get why you'd need additional notification functionality beyond that?

@_jacksmith you signed up before twitter cut off Meerkat's access to your twitter followers, so you don't need this. Everyone that joined Meerkat after 3/13 don't get these push notifications, so this help these users. (http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/13...)

@orarbel na, I signed up after. But I just manually added the people. That's cool if you just do it automatically

@_jacksmith right. If you manually follow all your Twitter friends it's the same.

We’ve noticed that when you sign up to Meerkat you don’t know when your friends start streaming. One of our engineers took a weekend and came back with “Yo Meerkat” — Get a Yo with the live stream when a friend starts a Meercast (and it's open sourced). The “with the live stream” part is pretty cool, since Yo allows sending links and deep-linking, when you open the notification it opens the Meerkat app and takes you right to the stream.
