Really interesting that Facebook is attacking numerous big name players in the market and truly doubling down on the fiesta that is the live streaming and video segment. 😳 http://stfi.re/gndgjr

Straight from Business Insiders's article (http://www.businessinsider.com/f...) about this complete "revamp": "Facebook just proved how serious it is about live video. The company has completely revamped its broadcast product, Live, adding features and putting a new hub for finding streams front-and-center in the Facebook mobile app. With replayable comments and on-screen reactions, the product now looks a lot more Twitter's live-streaming app, Periscope." Mentions that this new update will allow users to send private streams to members of certain groups or even events. The fact that they're changing the central button on their iOS and Android app's from the Messenger button to a "play" button for Facebook Live really shows how serious they are about this. Exciting!
