Meerkat's CEO just revealed an Easter Egg inside the live-streaming app that solves one of its biggest problems

One thing that's much better about Periscope than Meerkat is that the app curates a list of active livestreams so you can always find something to watch, even when no one you follow is broadcasting.

Turns out, you can find a list of on-going streams on Meerkat too - it's just hidden from view.

Meerkat should probably just build this feature in (or at least make it easier to activate).
