We've been watching Google closely recently as they try and expand YouTube from a mere video hosting website into the people’s Broadcasting service it has the potential to be.
Things are already starting to change which is all very well and good, but Google aren't they only guys who see a bright future for online video streaming. If there are two things missing from YouTube, it's a community and the ability to live stream. Okay, so you can post comments on YouTube but they're hardly intellectual discussions, or constructive criticisms, it's either blind love or flaming hate and YouTube channels hasn't really taken off yet.
This is where Streamago steps sin. Rather than being consumer based, Streamago is a website designed through and through with the film maker in mind. The online community is growing bigger and bigger each day and with live chat and Facebook interaction it could well be the future of online video broadcasting.
But Streamago from Tiscali is not just a YouTube rip off. It's something completely different. Streamago catters for live broadcasters. Whether you're a gig lover who wants to share their experiences, an experimental life filmmaker or a budding news reporter Streamago could well be exactly what you were looking for. By building a community on the Streamago website and connecting to your Facebook account you can build a buzz about an upcoming live event, announce it and then stream it allowing people to react in real-time. And if they miss it? The footage can be stored for future viewing, so you can't lose.
What's also exciting about Streamago, is that it is available as a iPod Touch and iPad 2 application allowing you to connect to your friends in a whole new way and there's nothing quite like the excitement of a live broadcast. So how would you use Streamago? Perhaps your in a band and want to stream a live gig from your garage, or you've stumbled into something amazing that you need to capture.
Not only could Streamago give us new social-networking tool, but it could become the springboard for a new style of unbiased, unedited live journalism. I'm expecting good things from Streamago but without you lot, it's useless, so get out and get broadcasting and interacting with the community here http://www.streamago.tv or connect through Facebook here http://www.facebook.com/pages/streamago/200311140004441
