Live Internet Video Stream

up to your broadband internet-ready laptop. Though the video quality is still a little choppy and it lags a little bit, it’s still live video and that’s what makes ustream.tv truly revolutionary. The early adopters include Chris Pirillo who runs a “narcissystem” from his desk using Ustream and live chats; Robert Scoble  and Jeff Pulver also sing Ustream’s praises pretty frequently. We asked Chris Yeh, angel investor and evangelist for Ustream, a few questions and here’s what he says:

Live Internet Video Stream ~ Chris Pirillo

Chris,
It was a pretty cool thing to be watching you and such. And reading this blog post on a normal font that isn’t size 72 on your monitor is much better.
It will be interesting how this all pans out.

I’m doing a joint project with Ustream.tv. Come back on Monday and watch what happens!

Neat view over your shoulder, but the sound sucks; it’s way over-driven, and so distorted I can’t make sense of anything you’re saying.

Chris,

Glad you enjoyed the live video experience. I’ll definitely advise Team Ustream to make sure they make it as easy as possible for users to mash in other services. I’m definitely going to have to check out LiveOffice’s conferencing–it really worked well.

Bah .. I missed it! .. Maybe next time

[...] First, inspired by Justin.tv, Chris “I live on the lunatic fringe” Pirillo decided to start a live internet video stream of him at his computer. Bringing in Ustream.tv (the live video technology) Skype, Twitter, chat rooms and a whole host of other technology. [...]

I dropped by and was surprised how smooth everything seemed to be running from the viewers standpoint

My first experience with transmitting live video was some 16 years ago, when I lofted the 60 foot aluminum mast of a WRC-TV live truck, while covering a grocery store shooting in Southeast DC. Flicking the switch on the 2Ghz transmitter from “standby” to “transmit” was enormously empowering even magical. Since then I’ve transmitted live video, in the form of broadcast news, via microwave, satellite and fiber optics. I’m pretty jaded to being live at work(NBC News), and I grow restless being tied to a control room.

The notion of easy, live video, available to anyone with broadband and a camera, has really re-kindled that empowering feeling i first felt 16 years ago. I’ve been playing with Stickam for a few months now. It’s pretty cool but my “live” offerings are limited to video tours of my environs with an audience I’ve lured away from their Twittering. Ocassionally, I summon the stones to Stickam an event NBC has assigned me to cover on Stickam with my big camera and broadcast audio (which people actually remark on).

I think the context of live is as important as the content. Frankly people sitting in front of webcams !!LIVE!! has a certain “so what” factor to it. Chris, what you did, integrating the live video experience into real time events of significance is where this tecnhology will shine. Right now most of us are experimenting and doing it because we can. (and that’s fun!) How you used it is where we’ll see growth and the real value of live.

Incidentally, Ustream appears to be FAR more robust than Stickam, by my observations. I’d LOVE if Ustream offered some type of video enabled phone integration. I discuss phones challenging the supremacy of the live-truck in old TV news here.

[...] Not content to let Justin have all the fun, geek trailblazers Robert Scoble and Chris Pirillo have been experimenting with Ustream. At one point today, I was watching Chris Pirillo’s webcam, which was broadcasting video of him watching Robert Scoble’s webcam, which was broadcasting video of him driving in the car. Fascinating stuff. About the only interesting part of the whole process was the discovery that a bunch of people seem to think Chris Pirillo’s new wife Latthanapon “Ponzi” Indharasophang is hot (and he agrees). [...]

[...] – Robert is going to be doing a live broadcast from the Web 2.0 Expo on Monday that you’ll be able to take part in. Chris Pirillo actually did this last night and I caught the tail end of it and it was pretty cool in concept, so Scoble’s Monday show should be pretty interesting. I expect hundreds of video podcasts to begin using this technology within the next two weeks, mostly because it allows the audience to take part in real time and interact with the hosts of the show, which means we’re drawing ever closer to web-related shows matching regular television, not in terms of quality but in terms of what you’re able to do using the technology you’re given. [...]

[...] The live streaming trend (fad?) among geeks began with Justin.tv, who is filming his life 24/7 with a camera attached to his head. Among the bloggers who will be using the tech at the expo - Robert Scoble, who will be streaming video from the lobby on Monday, along with fellow PodTech.net employee Jeremiah Owyang. Chris Pirillo has also been playing around with it. [...]

[...] Traditional news-media will die Filed under: tech — Peter Thomas @ 7:11 pm I came across this blog post Live Internet Video Stream while surfing Techmeme (which is really useful btw!) about how easy it is to connect a bunch of people over the internet using a variety of technologies, webcam, twitter etc. and it was fascinating to read. Quote below: Just as things were starting to pick up, an earthquake struck Acapulco. Local twitterers started tweeting - and Scoble picked up on the trend. Before long, a Mexico City blogger (who had experienced a 6.0 aftershock) was connected to the Ustream chat. I requested his Skype ID for a video chat - and we were connected within minutes. More people tuned into the live A/V stream, more people re-twittered the link, more people became active in the Ustream chat room, and #twitter on irc.wyldryde.org also started to receive a flurry of activity. [...]

[...] … when he [Chris Pirillo] heard there was an earthquake, he got one of his Twitter followers in Acapulco to give him his Skype ID and interviewed him on the spot, with others conferenced in via a free teleconference service. Is this the future? [...]

[...] But, the problem of course, is that these kinds of “real” events that are “important” happen relatively infrequently, which leads some of us to navel gaze and discuss the relative importance of these tools. [...]

Chris Pirillo, former TechTV host, and owner of Lockergnome.com has started a new Live Internet Broadcast that combines a running IRC Chat and with Live video and audio. As Chris explains in a post on his personal blog:

[...] Meet the bastard child of YouTube and Twitter: Ustream.tv, which allows anyone to put up a live embeddable video stream. Chris Pirillo calls it part of his “narcissystem“. I’d embed his stream here if it weren’t such an autoplay annoyance. Note to Ustream: drop autoplay from your embeds. Not everyone on the Web is a brain-dead MySpacer. [...]

You.tv - A New Chapter in Lifecasting is Already…

The new world of lifecasting through video, a la Justin.tv, and through other flow apps such as Twitter, Jaiku and Tumblr, are lessons in Internet culture, communication and proof that narcissism can be a powerful driver for technology adoption….

The difference is that now they have the tools and the technology readily available for them to now also become TV stars. [...]

[...] Benvenuti nell’era del narcisismo. Forse i video blog hanno trovato uno strumento ideale per la loro diffusione: sto parlando del servizio Ustream, descritto qualche tempo fa da Robin Good in questo post. Meglio che il suo predecessore Stickam. Trasmettere in streaming ciò che ci accade attraverso la nostra webcam sul blog è un idea vecchia ma che ha trovato in esperimenti come Justin.tv risvolti interessanti e particolari: non sono mancati anche alcuni scherzi tendenti a smuovere la monotonìa di questi “reality” online. Se penso che anche in Italia ci sono progetti simili sul web non posso che esserne felice purchè si badi però più ai contenuti che al clamore; l’opposto in pratica dei format basati sulla real TV. Nelle altre blogosfere notiamo come Chris Pirillo abbia deciso di usare Ustream ed anche il noto Robert Scoble sta pensando di comunicare attraverso video nonostante già da tempo abbia il suo ScobleShow; in Italia Nicola Mattina sta realizzando attraverso il suo blog un suo Web Show con interviste a personaggi, blogger, esperti della Rete incontrati nei BarCamp di tutta Italia. Realizzare un progetto di comunicazione televisivo online del genere richiede la ricerca di sponsor e prestazioni tecniche alla portata di tutti: ben diverso è invece il discorso per il reality fatto in casa con WebCam + Ustream/Stickam. Luca di Blublog ha ad esempio inserito sotto il feed Rss il player di Ustream con il quale trasmettere da casa sua ciò che accade. Stiamo trasferendo il pubblico del voyeur dalla Televisione al mondo di Internet? Trovo che utilizzare queste possibilità siano utili nel caso di eventi live (vedi qui) e poco altro: insomma non vi aspettate a breve un box su questo blog con uno streaming live. Però potrei ripensarci; magari fissando un appuntamento fisso, chissà.

[...] As the largest collection of live trucks my colleagues and I had ever witnessed beamed images of the horrifying massacre at Virginia Tech, a live TV revolution was quietly happening on the internet. Prompted by “always on” Justin.tv, suddednly everyone’s video had to be live. Tech evangelist Chris Pirillo was live streaming on Ustream, when news of an earthquake in Mexico fell in his lap. His live stream then became a source of information and communication about the quake. I managed to catch a bit of Robert Scoble driving to the Web 2.0 conference on his live Ustream feed. Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan now have their own live show and Steve Garfield, on the cutting edge as always, has been going live via Comvu with his Nokia N95. And now politicians have thrown their hats into the ring..so to speak. Ustream CEO Chris Yeh tells me that Senator Chris Dodd’s war room will be streamed live, using Ustream’s service, during the South Carolina Democratic Debates. So while Jeff Jarvis is miffed at NBC for “stealing” tonight’s debate, at least one of the candidates will provide a unique, behind-the scenes live view. [...]
