Twitter is getting increasingly aggressive in its promotion of its live-video app, TechCrunch reports.
According to sources speaking to TechCrunch, Twitter has been quietly pushing celebrities and media companies to ditch the video-streaming service Meerkat and instead broadcast videos using its own Periscope app. Sources also told TechCrunch that Meerkat was doing the same, though the CEO of Meerkat contacted TechCrunch and denied asking anyone to use the app.
