Twitter is not alone who is focusing on streaming live videos, Amazon already stream some programs and Facebook also planning to dip into Social TV.

Facebook in a sense moving more smartly than Twitter, if you have to watch Live TV then why use Twitter? Despite the fact it would engage more users, consume their larger portion of time on twitter and open up opportunities for advertisements but still the amalgamation between the right content for the right place looks ambiguous. Facebook on contrary choosing the right content for the right place which is TV itself.
