Why is Twitter betting big on live video?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode

Recode's Senior Media Editor Peter Kafka joins Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode to talk about Twitter's latest efforts to carry live TV and video content, which will include 24/7 news from Bloomberg, live music concerts from LiveNation and weekly regular-season games from the WNBA. Kafka explains why the company might want to emulate Netflix if it's serious about video, spending a lot of money to create something new that is also high quality. Later in the show, the trio answers your questions about live video on the web, including what Facebook is doing in response to a recent rash of murders and suicides carried live on its platform.
