Remember that Twitch.tv started out with a guy carrying a camera on his head and lifestreaming everything.

Running a successful company depends on knowing which way the wind is blowing and adapt accordingly.

The adoption of justin.tv for e-sport was a huge surprise, but Justin.tv were smart enough to catch on to the trend and adapt.

That's also why the "ahead of their time" trope can be very misleading.

Meerkat treated users incredibly disrespectfully, and I can't be bothered that a company might fold at the first sign of competition. It's not like Jaiku and Pownce weren't around at one point.
