Non-Stop Broadcasts, Another Only A-List Only Worthy Gig?
Before I start, I’ll immediately admit that I am a rather compulsive nickname and domain-claimer, so yes, of course did I claim not only my first name, but also my favorite nickname at the service that might be mentioned in this post.
One of the more hip [sic] things I never really understood was the need for a permanent broadcast. And I don’t mean a hyped gig like Justin.tv, but services like UStream, more specifically streams like Pirillo Live or Zooomr Live.
Where I can understand the intense desire of Kristopher Tate to be watched by other obsessive compulsive geeky dudes, I don’t understand the hype around Pirillo at all. And much less the need or desire to broadcast non-stop how fluently you can type, swear, curse and how little of your real screen estate you use. I just don’t get it. Unless it’s all about showing off your two nice monitors.
Maybe it’s because I’m no A-Lister and am a bad whore. My networking sucks and there’s no one to hype me either, but actually when I look at the chat in Pirillo’s live box, I can only be happy that there’s no hype around me anyway.
Although I plan using Ustream during the Blogathon, when I will cheer some Blogathoners, I just don’t get it. Can someone please explain me what the non-stop broadcast thing is and why I should reposition my webcam so you can try to understand how much I procastinate work?
Note: I have no problems with scheduled streams, offering some ‘focus’, topic, concept, but I highly doubt that anyone would be interested watching how much screen estate I have and actually actively use (note: the picture is not actual anymore, right now I have around 2000px more screen estate but I hardly doubt anyone is interested in an updated picture).
What do you think?
