Justin.tv, one of the first live video streaming sites, has announced its 1 millionth registered user since its launch in March 2007.
Justin.tv has a number competitors, namely Stickam, Mogulus, and Ustream.tv, but has managed to keep a strong presence in the space (maintaining attention along the way with a number of media stunts). We’ve analyzed the competition several times.
In March we took a look at Justin.tv’s growth through its first year of operation. In that post, we included user and data statistics until that point, and we’ve included a similar set today:
1,721,868 friendships made
90,690 channels created
522,794 favorited channels
95,253 video highlights saved
29,167 playlists generated
24,478 events broadcasted
61,562 video clips uploaded to youtube
62,278 twitter messages sent
16,294 myspace bulletins sent
119 years of video broadcasted & archived
Justin.tv has seen explosive growth since March, gaining 650,000 new users and the equivalent of 62 more years of video to be exact. Below is a chart that represents their growth in weekly new registered users for the past year.
I suppose congratulations is in order, so CONGRATS!!
I think justin is interesting, but where is the good content? At the end of the day, that’s what matters. uStream has the brand names and intriguing content ie- gary v was on today out of the blue. At the end of the day, it’s not a pageview or viewer hour war like youtube/ amateur hour content. It’s about good monetizable content that people enjoy + come back too.

I agree with Jason. Justin.tv targets more of a younger crowd while Ustream seems to get more high end. Political figures have been on Ustream to target a special audience and to broadcast to the world.
Well, congrats to Justin.tv

Justin should learn from YouTube, and their ten mistakes. They can continue to grow but the content they are adding isn’t going to catch the marketeer’s eyes.
worthwhile for a CONGRATULATIONS, it’s a useful site.

Man, that graph looks like the side of Mt. Everest. Any reason or reasons for the sharp increased in growth? Some correlations would be nice to see. Congrats to Justin.TV for still maintaining a sense of relevancy.
What they don’t tell you is that most of these users are from Egypt, Middle East, South America and they’re all watching pirated TV signal. Whenever you go on justin.tv, those are the top watched shows. Problem is that you can’t monetize those viewers and you can’t sell advertising against stolen content. You also can’t sell ad inventory for UGC video since you have no idea what a person on camera will do and whatever they do might be associated negatively with your brand.
So yeah, justin.tv folks might be celebrating 1million users but I’d be worried if I were their investor since it’s next to impossible to monetize all this traffic for all the reasons I mentioned. And who will buy Justin.tv and give investors their exit?! Yahoo has their own service, Google has YouTube and they are working on live component, MS is not interested… Not many options left and time is running out!
hey
congs to justin tv their streaming is too good.

Congratulations Justin.tv …. this is a great milestone! I hope you are monetizing it well
Congrats, JTV crew!
JTV still has the best video experience in the lifecasting space. That’s the secret sauce of JTV, I believe. 30fps video — at a minimum — Is important to grow this space. It’s all about the video.
119 years of video!!! i dont know if i have time to watch all of that. i will really have to make room in my busy schedual. LOL
119 years of unwatchable video
Congrats Justin and the crew. Is big Michael still with you guys:)
Best,
G
nice job. Like justin.tv a lot.
Keep up the good work.
This is not fair! LiveVideo.com is the best and most popular live video streaming site and we have much more soft porn than any of these upstarts!
Why don’t you EVER mention how big we are and keep given these others editorial which is the single only reason they are growing. If you dont blog about them no one will ever know about them.
We have a better system. Content people want.. ON mass. Come on everyone and check out all the girls on LV. We have 15 steaming right now!

Brad — Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
How much money do they lose for each registered user?
These guys have taken their fair share of criticism…even from many Tech Crunchers but goes to show how much we know the market and what users (young users) want….
Number of users is a useless metric…
Number of _active_ and _content producing_ users is important.
Ditto.
Shut up, Brad.
If you took that cutie iJustine out, I bet those numbers would drop a lot
I’d like to see a metric of people who go back and use or create content. This trend looks like people sniffing the site. How many people actually go back and act like members?
Anyone analyzed that it is all arabic users?
I heard they’re running out of $….last ditch effort….
