Google ready to challenge Periscope with YouTube Connect | rumor

The introduction of tools for live streaming is a growing tendency in the major social networks, rather than physiological evolution of the characteristic features of the social networks that make immediacy of the transmission of content their hallmark. Not only texts and images, but also entire video sequences are transmitted in real time via Twitter and Facebook, respectively, using the Periscope and Facebook Live services. Google, according to a report in Venture Beat, can only passively observe such trends and has already worked out his answer: YouTube Connect.

It is, said the source, an app developing, designed to iOS and Android platforms, dedicated to live streaming. Many of the Connect YouTube features are similar to those found in Periscope and Facebook Live: you can access the service using your Google or YouTube account and start very quickly stream video in real time using their smartphones. The app also integrates chat functionality, tags and a "news feed", containing the latest clips of your contacts or those of subscribed YouTube channels.

Viewing movies can be made directly from your smartphone or via YouTube; the individual transmissions, also, may be stored within the application (possibly at the user's discretion) offering the opportunity to review them at a later time. For now, says the report of the source, the app does not yet have integration with Facebook and Twitter, features that would facilitate the sharing of live video using their social networks.
Google has not confirmed the rumors just reported that, at first, appear likely, especially if we reflect on the importance of an instrument for live streaming will be on YouTube. The social network dedicated to Google's video sharing supports live streaming via Creator Studio, but access to that functionality is rather limited, expand to Android and iOS smartphone users the ability to stream live video from smartphones would undoubtedly contribute to enriching the 'offer of content hosted by YouTube.

based on identikit provided by Venture Beat, YouTube Connect will be a standalone app in the app YouTube group, which also includes YouTube capture (for video editing before uploading) and YouTube Gaming (video and live streaming dedicated gamers). Connect the YouTube release date is not known, but it is possible that Google exploits the stage of the Google I / O (28 to 29 May) to officially present it.

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
