The Cast of Life-casters Keept Growing!

The article on Justin.tv is finally in the final draft. And will be posted soon. It is the first article I have written on the technical aspects of an online social phenomena, but I found this one too tempting to pass up. What I found out was a curious interactivity going on when combining real-time live video coming from a web cam with live chat.

It started with just Justin Kan who started the video blog Justin.tv, then included a popular life-casters on his site, Justine Ezarik. I then noticed another tech-savvy caster Lisa Batey, who brings more interesting technology into the mix and somewhat different perspective on lifecasting.

Although I mostly write about technology, this one morphed into something different and was one of the more interesting articles I have written lately. Check out the article posted here in draft soon.
