I have been rolling thoughts of this very thing through my head for sometime and have done a few experiments. I have been thinking about switching my podcast over to a live video format but still have not uncovered a way to make the live media portable or to be able to save and archive with sound and video intact. Justin.TV is doing some really cool stuff but personally I found the interface over there lacking in options and features. Also getting my sound and video settings to stick have been a major drawback with the Justin.tv site. After starting out at Ustream and doing a few art jams and bbq with Chongolio broadcasts, I then checked out Stickam on a tip hanford had given me. After the crawI did some playing around at Justin.tv Personally, I found Stickam to be a much more a slicker, user friendly and full of pretty cool features. However, a few thing I don't like about Stickam is the user base really seems to be 14-18 year old emo and wanna be rockstar kids. also, stickams staff's willingness to answer emails about buggy features were weak at best. Also, on both justin.tv and Stickam there seems to be way to many Dum-dum cams that don't have any real content or entertaining qualities. Whereas Ustream actually had some interesting content being broadcast. Once again this is all my personal opinion, but I really don't want to watch some one sleeping or peckin' on their keyboard in a dark room talkin' about the cute boy in their class and how sexy they think piercing are. If I am going to stare at somebodies cam, I want to be entertained or at the very least learn something. Watchin' some one carve, create artwork, or have their own radio show is very cool but I think the medium has way more potential than that. The kids are embracing the technology more so than the adults. Sadly, they are using it to do what teenagers do. Screw around, try to be cool and trying to get laid. For those of us "grown ups" who are willing to learn this brave new medium all kinds of avenues of creativity are waitin' ( OK maybe you might get laid too!) So I am askin' anyone who interested in the future of internet broadcastin' or simply watchin' to give your input on all the sites I mentioned as far as usability, features, stability or any other critiques you may have. The future is now and your in it! See you in Chongovision! Lost-Isle Coconut Wired Podcast Barefoot bloggin'
