Everyone’s talking about Meerkat, the new livestreaming app that went viral during SXSW.*
But Steve Welch has been using a livestreaming app — an earlier iteration of Meerkat called Yevvo — for years. When the DreamIt Ventures cofounder would travel for work, his wife would use Yevvo to livestream his daughter’s soccer games. One time, Welch was tuning in to a game during a conference (he declined to name the conference in question) and was surprised when parent after parent approached him afterward.
