Shared Creation

As exciting as film making, nothing quite has the edge of a live broadcast. That’s something I hadn’t thought too much about until I discovered Justin.tv; which has been around a while but somehow escaped my gaze.

Apparently this started life as a webcam attached to a cat. It’s all grown up now and hosts quite an array of lifecasters and webcams all broadcasting live onto the Internet.

In effect this a selection of live channels all broadcasting all the time. The potential is enormous.

There is also the option of looking at previous broadcasts from the various casters.

At the moment most of the shows are one person being watched or interacting with people in a chat room. Though its only a matter of time before some professionally made shows are airing live to the net. To take a look at one of the best examples of this take a look at http://live.twit.tv/ – fine ongoing technology broadcasts.

So if you think you’d enjoy life casting, or feel like taking a look at what is being broadcast at any given minute then take a look at justin.tv

If youtube allowed people to share video online, these services are the start or personally produced televison online.
