"Cheap, easy-to-use live video-streaming technology could stretch your 15 minutes of fame to 15 years."
..."The new streaming sites, including Stickam, Ustream, and Veodia, let video artists go live and interactive, sometimes taking their audience's e-mails and phone calls on the air. And at some of these sites, users are taking the plunge into full-time lifecasting." ... "..live video streaming of the sort provided by Ustream and Veodia improves on traditional webcamming in several ways. For one thing, no special PC software is required. Users just connect their webcam or video camera to their computer, and Web-based programs take care of the rest. Video webcasters also get pages on the streaming services' websites where they can publicize their content, and they can embed a dedicated media player showing their webcasts in their own websites or blogs. Just as important, live video streams can be combined in the same Web page with instant messaging or chat-room windows, enabling viewers to carry on conversations with each other and with the broadcaster."
