PYRILLIX CANT BELIEVE WHAT I SAID BECAUSE PYRILLIX HAS NOT HAD THE SAME EXPERIANCE AS I HAVE HAD WITH USTREAM.

If ustream took $11.1 million in funding, then Where's the Beef? Yes I might be whining about ustream but sombody has to do it. and Yes my experiance with ustream was not a good one for many reasons, but I will have to say im not a sell out like ustream. I will have to say that I stand by my word and I respect and love my country. I think $11.1 million could have been used for more productive things like maybe a research project to make our energy consumption more green. Whatever it might be $11.1 million could have been used for somthing a little more intelligent then a web site like USTREAM.Tv ITS FUNNY HOW THEY COME BACK AND DEFEND THIER PRECIOUS USTREAM TV!

Ustream didn't give him what he wanted so he likes to take hissy fits and cause problems in order to get noticed. He likes to think he created what Ustream is today but unfortunately that's not reality. If you end up meeting him for the first time, it won't be long before he starts blabbing about how the powers-that-be of Ustream have done him wrong and how they don't care about their users. He will also whine about Ustream not giving him a $25/hour minimum job. Cjay chooses to stream on Ustream because he knows there isn't a better choice out there. Don't let him fool you with this "bleeding the beast" talk. So just ignore this insane man's rambling and enjoy Ustream. Cjay is a disgruntled ustream user who whines like a baby.

Ustream has no problems stealing your creative ideas, Like a borg ship they consume you, resistance is futile. Ustream does not really care about its users, all it cares about is its numbers that it likes to inflate from time to time. They make promises on personal levels and fail to honor them. I won a lifecaster sponsorship from them for EVDO internet mobil service with sprint for one year and they made me sign a contract, then they backed out of the full years service. I beta test also for ustream and I can tell you that the code they use comes from many open source projects. They use UNREALIRCD server for thier chat system that is free for download. Ustream is getting thier money but cant seem to pay the people that have made them what they are today. And what company is going to pay for what can be had for free. All the talk you hear about ustream making deals with microsoft or google or god only knows who is not to be trusted, its all just hipe and foolery. They provide a FREE way to stream your video but so do many others on the web. The way they conduct business is sleezy. Ustream is being developed by a bunch of hillbillies and is outsorced to hungarian programers that im sure are being payed beans for thier time spent. Its really sad to think that even silicon valley has to outsorce a startup company like ustream to get the job done, and you wonder why the United States is falling behind in internet technologies. Brad Hunstable and Johnny Ham are doing nothing to bring home the United States for You and I, Nothing we can be proud of that has the label "MADE IN AMERICA!" If you know ustream like I know ustream you would see the true nature of it all. Think before you make your streaming video choice. I use ustream to stream my video because I choose to bleed the beast called USTREAM.TV If you only Know what I know about ustream.

I am not a prude but this constant sexual overtones on most of these other sites leaves me as a business professional out in the cold. Ustream (who actually enforces it's TOS) is a much cleaner site. (Stickam, which started as a japanese porn site, justin.tv, with its edgier content with lots of sexual overtones wont do it for me either) I haven't decided yet about blog and Mogulus yet.. Way to go Ustream, keep it clean and you will get the professionals everywhere involved!!

So why not broadcast the concert in return for a +/- 10 dollar payment and a million or more other fans around the world can take a look at it. After the concert they can directly buy t-shirts and other stuff to further increase revenues. What do you think, is this possible? Nice, keep up the good work (-:

I recall John coming to my office last year with a backpack, his lap-top... and a dream. Look how far you've come, my friends!! This is an incredible story that only gets better. Could not be prouder of the founders, board, management team and new investors. The momentum is undeniable and accelerating. I look forward to the continued build-out of the platform and wish everyone a heartfelt congratulations and warmest wishes. God speed! G. J. Dennis PS. I must correct Sammie's comment -- the phrase should read, "GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY" as validated by Navy's powerful streak of victories in football (no disrespect to Johnny and Brad's service in the US Army).
