Twitter adds live Periscope broadcasts to timelines

Twitter on Tuesday began weaving live Periscope video broadcasts into timelines streamed to its application tailored for Apple mobile devices. "Go LIVE and broadcast straight into Twitter!" the one-to-many messaging service's chief and co-founder Jack Dorsey proclaimed in a tweet fired off at @Jack.

"Both Twitter and Periscope show you what's going on in the world, right now -- whether that's outside your window or across the globe," Periscope chief and co-founder Kayvon Beykpour said in a blog post.

"Since Periscope launched last year, people have created over 100 million live broadcasts. Today, we’re making it easier to see what’s happening by bringing Periscope broadcasts — both live and replays — directly into Tweets", he added.
