What would be better is a well edited documentary, comparing the two biggest start-up incubators Ycombinator and Techstars.

It would be a fantastic promotional documentary for all party's involved. Heck, you could even turn it into some kind of reality Tv show if your wanted to where the 2 incubators compete somehow. 1st season broadcast via Youtube + HD websites. 2nd season via NBC.

It's 1000x better idea for a show than this http://www.iamtheprodigy.com/

its a reality based tv show where 2000 door to door summer salespeople compete to see who can sell the most, what garbage!! The people at Ycombinator and Techstars are the future leaders of the world! How much more interesting can you get!?

If your interested in this idea I will be in the Bay area March 22-27. JimmyReam@gmail.com

I thought about that idea too. I definitely think that one of the 8 Y-Combinator teams should get a person to film the whole experience from start to finish. It seems like everyone on this news feed is dying to see how it all is done.

Dangerously addictive. I must have spent two hours looking at that site today.

I'm not gonna lie I watched it a lot tonight. I really would have enjoyed it better if the sound was better though. It was hard to hear the speaker and a lot of the conversations. Wasn't Justin supposed to speak in front of everyone?

Seriously. I am getting close to writing a greasemonkey script or editing my hosts file before this becomes a problem.

Maybe you should worry that by funding justin.tv you've bankrupted future applicants of all their time.

They'll get tons of VC money soon and they'll need it for the bandwidth bills. More people want to film their lives than want to talk into a fixed camera (i.e. YouTube). You need a little new hardware for this though which hurts.

Still, it will be huge. The next YouTube.

It is unsurprisingly compelling. But the live chat and interactivity really made it for me. It's great to just idle in the room all day, pop back on the computer after some time and ask "So what'd I miss?"

The potential of justin.tv is just phenomenal right now. The platform that they've built is really going to change how entertainment is done.

I think the police entering their apartment at 1:40 this morning, guns drawn, is going to make a classic moment for the archives. I'll be honest, I was thinking I was maybe going to see Justin get shot.

One day after launch and there's already gold moments like these. It was bad that I kept thinking "Whoa, this is going to make an awesome YouTube video later" as guns were being pointed at them.
