How do you measure your live veiwers?

[Dahalabit]

I am considering broadcasting live ones a month and wanted to know how I can measure my viewership. anyway these companies will give out numbers?

[techzentv]

which company in particular? Ustream and Justin.TV have an API that will give you viewer counts. I think most of them have something similar.

Ustream gives you real time metrics. Have yet to find a service that offers a better measuring tool. I dont know much about Justin.tv's API. Techzentv have you used it yet?

[techzentv]

I have not had a chance to actually use the API for Justin.tv. I am going to build another on-air light that works based on the stream status with the intention of it looking at Justin.tv. So I will be looking at the API in the next few weeks.

[andrewzarian]

Very interested to see what you create.

I have an RRDGraph working for Ustream and Justin.tv now. What other CDNs should I do? I have plans for bitgravity and Livestream yet.
