Be your own TV

By Nick Hodge | April 15, 2007

Video camera, stream up, people watch your life. Obviously, this mechanism of publishing is old as the internet itself - but with bandwidth increasing and alpha-geeks / rock-stars emerging in recent years - we are seeing the new world being born.

The initial years of large company sponsored video-on-the web (think soapflakes sponsors in the 1950s) was followed by soap operas on YouTube (think LonelyGirl15) to reality TV of Justin.tv (think Survivor, without the dramatic editing)

Insert 3D worlds of WoW, SecondLife and the like - we are seeing Snow Crash and True Names appear before our eyes.

How long before thegeekstories.com is a live-to-web experience?

    Uncle Nick...I thought of this when I read that. I can imagine doing a combo video of yourself into SL the result of which would resemble this straight as the output.
