Ever wanted to become the next Star Wars Kid, or the next lonelygirl15? Well your moment has arrived!
I think this site has been around for a while (since 2001 I believe), but I personally just happened upon it a couple of days ago. With BlogTV [blogtv.com] you can broadcast your own streaming video feed, and for free! All you need is a webcam in order to achieve your 15 minutes of fame.
It also has a built in chat function, should you choose to converse with whoever it is you are watching.
In addition to the main site, there is also a BlogTV Facebook application which allows anyone viewing your Facebook profile to tune in to your webcam show. This would be an interesting and useful way to hold meetings, or even conduct a video conference (assuming all participants had their own webcam, and were viewing everone else’s Facebook profile). My experience with this Facebook app. was a particularly pleasant one, as I was surprised at how smooth it was (i.e. good framerate, not terribly choppy).
So what are you waiting for? Create an account, and become the next Internet phenomenon!
