YouTube won’t be going live any time soon

by Jodie Andrefski on Aug 14, 2008 at 02:54 PM

Despite previous statements declaring that their online service would be offering live video streaming some time this year, a source inside now states that YouTube won’t be going live after all. There goes the business plans of several planning to make a buck off the live streaming idea, like the somewhat cult-popular lifecast justin.tv. Some outsiders have thought this was the next expected step for YouTube, being that they make a killing in the market for pre-recorded Web video. Even Steve Chen, Co-Founder of YouTube, lent plausibility to the leap to live streaming when the idea first hit the public’s ear by telling Pop 17’s Sarah Meyer’s “Live video is something we always wanted to do but haven’t had the resources to do it correctly, but now with Google, we hope to launch something this year.“  Well, that was in February, and it isn’t happening, and sources say it won’t be happening next year either.

Justin.tv has a purpose, catches burglar on camera

While Justin.tv seems to be pretty neat, personally I find watching most of those channels just about as boring as could be. However, this latest incident just goes to show that if you watch something, or in this case point a camera at something long enough, you will at least catch something useful or worthwhile.

Justin.tv user Chowda633 recently went into the hospital to have some ear surgery and low and behold he returned to find a few things missing from his apartment. Well, it turns out it was a good thing that he was a Justin.tv user, because whether he just forgot to turn his camera off, or possibly he was keeping it on just in case. He was able to catch the footage of the robbery, which happened to be found by another Justin.tv user. Now with footage in hand, he was able to further help the police. Lets just hope that he gets his stolen items back undamaged.
