From Edtv to Justin.tv
From Edtv (1999) to Justin.tv (2006 – present)
Justin.tv is the largest online community for people to broadcast, watch and interact around live video. Anyone can broadcast live on Justin.tv network. All you need is a computer, a web cam and an Internet connection. Justin.tv provides the rest. You can create your own channel across a range of categories (Producers, Sports, Gaming, Social, Entertainment, News & Events, Science & Tech, Animals, Educational) to create broadcasts, including:
- Lifecasting: Share your life online 24/7.
- Backstage Pass: Become “almost famous” as you get an insider’s look at a band’s life on the road.
- News: Take blogging and reporting to the next level
- Live Shopping: Enhance your online store by interacting with your customers live.
- Cooking: Broadcast your inner “Iron Chef.”
I guess in this case, life sometimes imitates art, though as the Businessweek article below states, some lifecasters, “simply want to connect with a community, while others merely want to broadcast special moments, such as weddings, graduations, and even Sunday Mass, to family, friends, and neighbors who can’t be there.” — BudgetMaven
