I'm the author of this blog post. And I don't think the invitation was the main issue here. I did have a ticket, and I wasn't visiting any friends there who could invite me. Also I haven't been asked about the invitation letter during the main interview, I haven't even been asked why I don't have it or anything like that...
I think the main issue was my not permanent employment, here, in the UK. I just don't like the way the officer was interviewing me.
I'm happy for them. Don't get me wrong, I love meerkat, it's a great app. Periscope looks like a one night hack for me. My point is that their entire app relies entirely on Twitter.
definitely agree with you, I think I'm the case you are talking about. I came to uni with a bigger experience and knowledge than other guys, I don't blame them. But I don't want to put myself on their level that's why I'd like to propose my own topic and show my skills there
