  1. Meerkat’s Founder on Snagging Madonna, Battling Periscope

    What was supposed to be a big win for Meerkat turned into a debacle on Tuesday when thepremiere of Madonna’s new music video on the live video streaming service for the upcoming single “Ghosttown” failed.

    That it did so again this morning was a “stupid mistake,” said Meerkat founder Ben Rubin. It’s just another one of the service’s challenges as it finds itself suddenly up against Twitter’s Periscope, a service that appears to be a direct rival.

    Madge’s fans were eventually placated when the stream started working 10 minutes late, after Meerkat’s team tracked down the engineering problem. At the end of the video, users were introduced to Meerkat’s newest feature, a link directing viewers to buy Madonna’s album on iTunes. All broadcasters will now be able to program a button to pop up at the end of the stream and connect people to external sites like YouTube channels, items in the iTunes stores or online articles. It turns the livestreams into a marketing tool for businesses, but it could also be used by regular consumers to build up their Twitter following or direct readers to their blog.

    I sat down with Rubin to find out whether Meerkat is dead, how Madonna discovered it, if he’s paying her to use it and other mysteries of the livestream universe. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.

    Re/code: How did you get connected to Madonna?

    Rubin: I can’t talk about it.

    You can’t talk about it?

    No. Her people — it’s just not something I can talk about.

    Are you paying her to stream?

    No, no, no.

    Have you considered paying famous people to stream?

    You cannot do it. It’s like being an artist and paying for people to come see you.

    “I didn’t know she binge watched the show,” Jamie admitted.

    Mad fan: Jamie was surprised when he heard Madonna was a fan of the show

    I don’t read all her interviews,” he joked.

    When told she watches The Fall and True Detective, Jamie replied “Oh really, that’s good company.”

    “Yeah, I’ll probably start putting that in my CV, that’s pretty cool,” he to the LA Times.

    Humbled by his new number one fan, the 32-year-old actor revealed it’s not the first time he’s encountered a famous fan. “That’s a lovely thing that The Fall is one of those shows where a lot of people I admire happen to like it.

  3. Diplo, you helped out Madonna on her new album. Do you think she'll return the favour on a Major Lazer track?
    Diplo: "Yeah she would love to. She did a dubplate for us and I think 'Unapologetic Bitch' was a Major Lazer idea that we just wrote real quick and she loved it so it came out as one of her songs."
