Justin.tv guys launching new mobile video app Socialcam

I love Justin.tv. I just discovered their live streaming section, which has everything from office episodes to television stations I don't get in my area (I've been practicing my Mandarin Chinese by watching a station in Toronto)

These guys are very impressive, and that they are so innovative around video is really nice.

The Justin.tv guys really took off after they closed down Kiko. I think that this goes to show that the wrong market and the wrong concept can hold back people, but once they are in big growth markets, creative people really get to shine like these guys have been doing for the past years.

Just the sign-up referral thing is pretty innovative. I referred one person and I'm #26 on the list, so at least 25 people have referred at least one other person? That's not bad.

Is that sarcasm? I think Justin.tv's guys have made some realy progress as far as online video goes. They're pioneers. I'm sure they have some great stuff planned for mobile!

Justin.tv has been revolutionary in terms of online video. It'll be pretty cool to see what they have in store for next.

I'm no expert on video-streaming, but what sets them apart from ustream.tv and livestream.com? Were they the first people out there?

yeah they have developed pioneering technology but they failed to build a profitable company, which is what matters if you take funding and present yourself a company.
