Meerkat has already made some changes, as TechCrunch's Josh Constine reports. A few new features have been added to the iOS version of Meerkat, as Constine noticed. These include:
- Recommendations of people to follow
- A new way to follow people from inside streams
- Ways to discover streams your friends like
Users may be able to opt out of syndicating their comments to Twitter in order to make the app a little more private, Constine also reports.
