Youtube going Live!

[Ricky]

so, I was watching this Rocketboom video:



Just like Ustream and Blogtv apparently youtube will have their own live stream option.

Right now its only on testing mode, but it will become available for the public in the future

So, what do you guys think, will it become popular due to the fact that many people who use the other websites are youtubers, or will people stick to the websites they already know?


Edit: Also rocketboon will be live today and tuesday and knowyourmeme today only

[Ferrrrrre]

It will become popular depending on the bugs and lay-out..

Yeah I think this is gonna trump all the other live stream website because everyone uses YT to begin with.

[frazzledog]

yea... i saw a tiny bit of it yesterday, but it was very buggy... once that is fixed, it should be the most popular option

Sucks how they're only doing partnerships and not really democratizing like... well, like YouTube typically does. Still, nice addition.

i think its cool, its depends on how much the people like it and how well it works.

they were only doing it with SELECT partners for a TEST run. I'm sure it will eventually be available to all who use Youtube.

I think this is one of the best ideas that youtube have had
