Live streaming for Facebook and Twitter

10.06.09

Thanks to our friend and client Tom Masiero at YoParts, I was introduced to Livestream’s customized live interactive event services that fully integrates with Facebook and Twitter. If you’re looking to broadcast live events on Facebook and Twitter, its’ a game-changer. » see more

What’s nice about this service that it’s a seamless experience from beginning to end. For us designers, it gives us a chance to fully customize the branding and viewing experience of each event. For the event organizer, it’s one of the few packages available today that makes livestreaming both easy, and scalable.

Livestreaming on the internet always has been a shaky proposition, but with services like this becoming more and more mainstream (pun intended!) and affordable, I can see a near future where it’ll really impact how small businesses can create an event that can be shown to thousands if not tens of thousands to potential customers.

While the $3,000 fee may be out of reach for a single small business owner, the cost can be defrayed by sharing among many businesses or sponsors participating in a single event. Along with the oh-so-very-cool livestreaming “http://www.livestream.com/blog/?p=2447,” the idea of broadcasting high quality video on-location is becoming more and more an affordable reality, especially compared to the early days of choppy-video live internet feeds that cost tens of thousands of dollars.
