Justin.TV

After seeing this today I just had to post on it. So in class today, my professor shows us all a brand new site called Justin.TV
Pretty much this guy named Justin and his three friends have started a new company in which the want to show people how to stream live video over the net. So here is how it works. Pretty much They have a sight where Justin is streaming video of his life 24/7. He wears a camera attached to himself in which he has it attached to his laptop and publishes the video feed live due to Quicktime publisher. The site has been up live 10 days now and he is getting recognition. He has been mentioned on the news and today G4's Attack of the Show mentioned it. If you go to the site, you can watch the feed of Justin's life, chat with others view the stream in a live chat room, and keep up with reading the blog. He also already has sponsors and has accounts on Facebook and Myspace which have multiple hist already. This is just crazy. I mean this pretty much puts what I was talking about in my last blog true. All it takes is someone to find something that is already there and find a way to change it and make it theirs. I guess I'm going to have to re-think the use of video thing again (joking). After discussing this with my professor, we pretty much came to one of two conclusions. Either he will get his month or so of fame and fade away, or he we get money an start a new social networking site that will allow people to communicate through live video feed. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see where this all will go. Good Luck Justin!
