YouTube goes LIVE for the first time ever tomorrow (Saturday, 22.11.2008)
“Part concert, part variety show and part party, the event will bring to life many of the amazing videos and talent that YouTube viewers have already made popular”: This is how the show is being promoted at YouTube itself.
While YouTube hasn’t made any announcements regardng a service that enables users to stream their videos live, it is arranging a big live stream event on their own. And I for my part think that this is a very smart move. While pitting itself directly against services like Ustream, YouTube is creating something that has never been there before: a live streamed event unlinke any other. Keeping such live-events rare is exactly how to reach millions of users. Furthermore such live streams could be opened to several media- and business partners.
