This week, YouTube is performing a test-drive of its new live streaming capabilities. The first tests will include live interviews with Tony Hawk and other skateboarders. But the first tests pale in comparison to the end goal.
YouTube's new live function is intended to act in part like Skype. Imagine streaming video from your home webcam to an open universe where an unlimited number of persons can log in to see your broadcast. I'm waiting for the moment when I can sit on my couch with a beer and watch the band playing 10 miles away in a dingy pub. Will atmosphere be missing? maybe, but this technology stands to bring us all closer to being two places at once.
