I am very curious what services like Ustream and Stickam are thinking right now. Youtube Live seems to be getting ready to open up the flood gates to its service. I personally welcome another service.

It’s really up to YouTube. If they want to take over, they will. Google rules the world!Quote:

Probably because they haven't added a resolution selector to the live player yet.Quote:

I can't wait for Youtube live to come out, I know I'll be using it if I am able. I think that they could overtake some of the sites, the smaller ones, but I think Justin, Stickam, etc. have a large enough following to stay in the business for at least a little while.
In my opinion, it’s Ustream that will really take the hit. Eventually celebrities and big brands will all migrate to YouTube. Sites like Stickam, with more of a focus on community might actually thrive in this new environment.Quote:

Should be interesting to see how Ustream evolves this year. They might want to consider embracing some of the less “famous” internet broadcasters in an effort to develop unique programming. Only time will tell...Quote:
