TV">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?

    Salut — my ger­man is bet­ter then my eng­lish :)
    par­don for that, but: it is pos­ible do you write a blo­g­post like a tutorial about a live stream ?

    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.
