Twitter's fresh, new, live streaming video app Periscope, no longer requires a twitter account, just a phone number to get started. Twitter still recommends an account, of course.

I wonder if that's to increase usage more rapidly. I would have thought they'd stick with the twitter account at this early stage, or if they are going to make it a requirement at a later date.
