Meerkat allows you to live-stream to all your Twitter followers without the need for them to download the app; it was easier to get attention of Twitteratis that in return increased the outreach through bloggers who attended the event. During the live-stream, SWIPE also managed to answer the queries and highlighted their new operating system. Live tweets that complimented Meerkat stream helped engage new audiences on Twitter and the bloggers present at the venue
