Martin Beck says, “Meerkat, the live-streaming video app that zoomed to prominence using Twitter’s social graph only to be cut off when Twitter launched Periscope, has turned to another social friend.

Wednesday, Meerkat started giving people the ability to sign up using Facebook where previously it required Twitter. Twitter is still a sign-up option and users who initially registered for the network using Twitter can still log-in that way.

The move to integrate with Facebook was one of three updates that Meerkat announced this week. It also added a “Cameo” feature that enables video hosts to invite a member of the audience to temporarily take over a stream and created a Meerkat Library to privately store video streams (which until now couldn’t be viewed after the completion of a live event)“.
