I hope Justin.tv doesn't sell itself on eBay now, I think they should take Google on this time. Their streaming is really top notch. We watched yesterday's debate on JTV.

I like where this is could go. Not that youtube is doing something that no one else has done (technically speaking) but only because of the clout youtube holds. I’d be more interested in seeing a live Steve Jobs keynote, or even the presidential debates live on youtube.

Technically speaking? Have you seen justin.tv?

He's saying it has been done.

This is just a concert, not some Justin.tv killer.

They do broadcast the event live on YouTube though.

It looks like they are using the event to test the live feature.

As of today, I have it on good authority the live-streaming is not through YouTube technologies.

Good authority meaning?

"Good authority" almost always means "People so highly placed that they do know what's going on, but not so highly place that naming them wouldn't get them fired." On the hierarchy, they are below "A spokesman," but well above "people familiar with the matter."

As in I'm pretty sure YouTube is currently doing talks with other companies to figure out how to live stream it.

What a tremendous crapfest this promises to be. I'm praying they have a live comment stream updated via SMS.

But no Judson Laipply? Really?

Wow. Party like it's 1999.
