Twitter launches Periscope video sharing app

Twitter has a new app that lets you live stream video broadcasts from your phone. It's called Periscope and it lets anyone easily broadcast whatever they're doing, whether it’s breaking news or making breakfast, taking the feed straight from your smartphone's camera. As expected, Periscope comes with built-in Twitter integration. Just click the small bird icon on the screen, which will send out a link to your live broadcast right from to your Twitter feed.

Periscope broadcasts can also be saved so that you can replay them later.

Right now the app is only available for iOS, but Twitter says that an Android version is on the way.
