Lifecasting's just one of those technologies that nobody knows what to do with yet. It also becomes a "chicken or the egg" situation, like iJustine alludes to in the video when she mentions that she feels like people EXPECT her to do something. The question is whether you do things in order to film them, or you would have done them anyway, and you happen to have your camera along.
The other 'problem' with lifecasting right now is that nobody that I've seen doing it so far is an actual entertainer. It's people living whatever their current life is, except there's a camera there. Lifecasting will become interesting when someone is paid to go to specific places and do specific things. As it stands, it's a bunch of people that don't actually have anything to do, but are willing to let you watch that and text chat with them. I've watched iJustine's channel a couple of times when someone on twitter's linked to it. Other than that, I only watch http://justin.tv/sarah, but that's because I actually *know* Sarah and I might be interested in seeing what she feels is interesting to broadcast, or I might see other friends of mine on her camera. Every time I've been on those lifecasting sites, there have been ~300 people watching the channels, so obviously, it's interesting to THEM. To me, it's a bunch of downtime with intermittent sparks of interesting content. I'd rather watch something filmed all day, then edited down into INTERESTING material. -- billcammack http://community.realfans.tv --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "terry.rendon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry everyone, > > I don't know what happen in the post but here the link, again... > http://potw.news.yahoo.com/ > > Again my apologies. > > Terry Rendon > > > > > --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "terry.rendon" <terry.rendon@> > wrote: > > > > Yahoo!
