Thanks to Meerkat’s rapid rise, live mobile video streaming could be the next big thing in social media. But will Meerkat be able to fend off the competition?

That question looms large for the makers of the app that went viral at this year’s SXSW conference as Twitter on Thursday unveiled its own live streaming app, Periscope.

Periscope functions a lot like Meerkat with one notable difference: once a live stream is over, Periscope allows the creator to save the video to her camera roll and users can view a replay of the stream for 24 hours”.

Will Twitter kill the Meerkat buzz with Periscope?
