Once again, Yahoo was ahead of the curve by 3 years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Live http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Live
(the other recent example being Instant Search).
- simonw 16y ago... and once again, they shut it down after less than a year (well, instant search never even launched in the first place). Yahoo! Live was really cool. I used it to watch the Eurovision Song Contest with friends from the US once.
- spoiledtechie 16y agoThats the problem with Yahoo. Never enough PR for what they create. If they want something done, you have to publicize it. Sadly, Yahoo is on a downward spiral. People always asking, what do they do again? They are nerds, but sadly too much management and not enough PR.
- ajays 16y agoI think they may have been a bit ahead of the time here. One problem with Yahoo is that they aren't able to lay out a vision: here's something cool, and here's why you will like it. Steve Jobs is the gold standard here, of course.
- phlux 16y agoI think its because they had shitty UI design. The yahoo pages ALWAYS were too cluttered. They should have done minimalism and dropped the cartoony icons and lame yodels and focused on a classy interface.
- magicalist 16y agoif we're trying to be fair, that wikipedia article alone links to two other live streaming sites that launched before yahoo live. people have been streaming video for a while now :)
