    Youtube Live : Will they take over Live streaming?

    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!

    currently I think the highest video format they are allowing is 640x360 im sure this will change when they go live with the service.

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

    Youtube has a taped in audience much larger then any of the other streaming sites. that will definitely be something that benefits them in the long run

    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.

    Spencer is correct. Ustream is very dependent on Celebs using the service.

    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...

    A huge thing that is really killing YouTube Live right now is the chat. I mean come on IRC has been around for so long and they put in some comment system that lags behind. Also if you ask any YouTube Live streamers thay say "New stuff is coming soon" I have heard that the past 2 months.
