Justin.TV has received funding for their Lifecasting website. (Paid Content Rafat Ali mentioned that this was an "actual live streaming service." (Actual?)
If you've been into streaming media, webcasting, broadcasting on the net, downloading for 10 years, like many of us here on this webcasting membership, you may be looking for that differentiation between the different websites of this type and who has the edge today?
What do you see differing from the previous websites that did this prior to the dot com blast, and do you see innovations worth noting? How many of these sites can the marketplace support and offer a return to investors? (We do have technological improvements, bandwidth increases, and a larger community aware and using audio and video, but where's the edge?)
As many of you know - you'll always find good news blurbs and stories from paidcontent.org from Rafat and his reporters. Here's the news clip today mentioning a couple of other "live video sites" or webcasting or streaming media locations.
"Justin. TV, the website for the “lifecasting” phenomena of sorts, is now relaunching as an actual live streaming service, allowing any user to broadcast live video for free. It has entered a crowded files with the likes of Paltalk, Stickcam, Operator911, Mogulus, Kyte.tv, and many others. The company has also raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Alsop Louie Partners. The site launched in October last year where founder Justin Kan had a webcam attached to his cap and the video was streamed live on the website. It developed into a community of sorts, and the new service hopes to replicate it for others."
Will it succeed and Why?
See you on the Net,
Peg
