Katch.Me Is Closing Down
Most people know, I typically become emotional about Start Ups that don’t make it. I’m not sure why I tend to take the news so personal but I do. I’ve started many businesses in my life that weren’t super successful, but I’ve never started anything where my investment cost me my dream. Many readers may not be familiar with the web application Katch so I’ll introduce you and divorce you in the same sentence. Katch.me is/was a video harvesting site for live Periscopes. Periscope only allows replays to your followers 24 hours after you have created your scope. 24 hours really isn’t enough time to maximize curation on high quality scopes. This is where Katch stepped in. Users would sign up for a Katch account, using their Twitter account and grant permissions to your Periscipe account. Once you scoped and copy of that session would be caught by Katch and tweeted out so your followers would be able to Katch the replay at a time more appealing to their personal preference. In a brief letter on Katch’s homepage they announced their final plans for closing and offered loyal supports gratitude for assisting with their massaivs growth in just under a year.
