Launch Wars: Twitcam Beats CamTweet To Live Video Tweets
- mixmax 17y agoAs the article points out "live tv is hard". I have a difficult time seeing this work in it's current form because of that. It's just not very interesting to watch other people on cam unless they're doing something trly extraordinary. Porn is the exception of course. A startup that somehow crowd-sources videomixing of the best stuff and airs that might work.

- tdavis 17y agoI can't think of a single good thing to say about a service that produces low-quality, boring video and spams automated tweets into the ether, but Twitcam's design is kinda nice to look at! If Twitcam "wins" doesn't that mean JTV really wins, since they'll lose the least amount of money on bandwidth in the long run?
- paul9290 17y agoThis is cool for breaking news, but everyone and their mom has to have video streaming capabilities on their mobile device for this catch on. I mean look what happened to Seesmic and others. How is this any different? In five to ten years it makes sense, but now text messaging makes more sense because how many consumers with cell phones can text message?
