For the uninitiated, Periscope was once a popular live video streaming app which rose to fame after Twitter acquired it for $86 million in
March 2015, to fight against another popular live streaming app, Meerkat. The rise and fall of Periscope are closely linked with its parent company Twitter, its rival Meerkat and other market competitors like Facebook. Here’s the full story of Periscope, how a once-promising startup came to an end.
