The dawn of do it your self live streaming is upon us. Although it may be video feeds of cute puppies sleeping and squirrels in Alaska feeding, uStream.tv is going to be the next YouTube.
Soon the link between cell phones and live streaming video will be made. When this crucial step occurs, there will be an explosion of ephemeral live video content streamed onto the web. Soon you will have the ability to see what you are friends are doing with out the weird feeling that you are invading their privacy. Why is it not an invasion of privacy? because they are voluntarily allowing the world to see what it is that they are doing. The concept is similar to flickr, facebook and twitter. You upload your video stream and people on the web or their cellphones watch. Okay so maybe it is a little freaky and awkward to see what people are doing with out them knowing that you are watching, but this is the new reality of our society and you can only expect this sousveillance trend to continue to grow. Its a soft form of voyeurism which gives a lot of curious people a reason to look at what others are doing.
