Do you think that's really the right solution for content creators that aren't TV studios? You could say that the static video distribution model was solved a long time ago too--release the video as a real time experience (a movie), choose an arbitrary waiting period and advertise a lot, then release the video (VHS, DVD). Of course, that's not at all the way anyone on YouTube distributes their video, so the old "solved" model doesn't always work best.
To be clear, I completely agree that TV studios figured out how to get people to watch live content very well. But I disagree that that's applicable to potentially millions of simultaneous individual broadcasters.
- mikeryan 16y agoI absolutely believe that this is the right solution for content creators that aren't TV Studios - in fact its easier for them, live broadcast is painful and ugly for studios. I'm not sure why its not applicable, please explain. In fact I think Justin.tv's role could/should be one of facilitating this process? Why not a Justin.tv Guide? The biggest downside of live video content on the web (and this can't be resolved) is that one thing the web brings is a global reach, and you're not going to be able to adequately serve a global audience with live video.
