YouNow raises $15 million to expand its live streaming social network

Meerkat and Periscope are the only non-gaming live streaming apps of note at the moment, but YouNow wants to change that by taking a rather unique approach to live streaming, and it now has $15 million in funding to help achieve that goal. What makes YouNow so unique is that it focuses heavily on social interaction, making it something of a live streaming social network where groups of people interact with each other in real-time. It’s definitely a niche product, but it still has a large enough audience that investors are interested.
