If you're interested in the backstory of Justin.tv (which became Twitch), StartUp has a two part podcast on it: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/almost-famous-s

  glad someone added this. the pod is pretty amazing to see to the persistence and struggle justin and co. went through. last five minutes of the second episode were best part

  Just wanted to say thanks for these links. One because the story was/is awesome, and two, I had no idea about StartUp Podcast. It was funny when one of the co-founders said something along the lines of "who the hell wants to watch other people play video games on the internet," little did he know... I beat my head on my desk some days thinking "why didn't I think of that!!!!" and then I beat my head on my desk again thinking, "what other ridiculous sounding simple idea is lurking out there yet uncovered." If anyone stumbles across that very thing and needs help brining it to fruition, pm me :D
