There were many channels that were hosted to show the game of cricket (Kitply and Asia Cup) on justin.tv. And given the Indian, pakistani, sri lankan population in the united states. The number of users just shot up like crazy. I would like to see if the stats remain the same over the next few months as well. Then I would agree that justin beat ustream.

I think the figures are down on ustream partly because most 30+ people are just getting to grips with youtube - I see live streaming the next stage up from youtube - so their gadget that transfers ustream videos to youtube - is one of their big plus points - two channel for the price of one - and both are free - bargain!

BlogTV is a good channel too - if you type “live streaming” into google camstreams.com is the top entry - where are blogtv and ustream ?!! - they are the two main sites I would have expecting to see on such a search - maybe some SEO and how to video’s need to be made - to make people aware they exist ?.

Ustream has a business like feel about it - if the work from home Internet marketer’s used it the numbers would shoot up - I wanna see them selling the latest ebook live - like Marlon Sanders does already !

Blogtv seems to be getting all the youtuber stars mirgating to it - I like blogtv as it has a range of age groups - shame it doesn’t have the transfer video to youtube gizmo that ustream has.

In short I think both blogtv and ustream are aiming at slightly more niche audiences - both aiming at a different slice of the pie - skickham and justin.tv just make me feel old & I’m not into chicks exposing flesh

- youtube is getting a lot of views but not generating the vast amount of cash - boobs and cute animals get viewers but is not targeted enough.

Ustream and BlogTV might end up having more success than youtube once people catch on to it, as it’s the difference between e-mail and IM/twitter - e-mail being the ’snail mail’ of on-line communication these days.

share your ad revenues with the live streamers. you may get people migrating to your service from others.

AND

1,900,000 uniqe visitors a month… for justin.tv

http://www.myshowroom.tv just opened and key differences have been developed to get something different.

You can ask for invitations as this is still in private beta.

Justin.tv FTW!

Compete shows the best picture in the US race:

Justin is taking the illegal content strategy for growth. This worked for Youtube, but there are some MAJOR differences in this case. First, it is one thing to have a funny illegal clip of a SNL spoof. That is a tremendous asset. Having a illegal live broadcast that provides no on going value over time has little value. Additionally, most of Youtube’s initial growth traffic was in the US.

Ultimately I believe Justin’s strategy of infringement will not be rewarded with a exit.

Ustream it seems to be is taking a more rationale approach and trying to build a real business with monetizable content, thus giving them recorded video assets with real value over time.

I believe there will be only one exit in this space, and it won’t be Justin.tv and definitely not a infringing content strategy with NON-US traffic. The world has changed from 2 years ago in this area.

If I had to bet today, I think Ustream is the obvious choice.

Ustream.tv Just Got a Redesign, But Justin.tv Is Still Beating Its Pants Off “In Morocco, Egypt and Chile…”

@Yawn Justin.tv is not. They will make money if they can hold out and last.
