Video blogger Sarah Meyers (Pop 17) caught up with Steve Chen, one of YouTube’s founders, recently, and got a scoop on YouTube live video.
The company plans to have a YouTube live video streaming service this year:
“We‚Äôll do it this year,” said Chen. “Live video is just something that we‚Äôve always wanted to do, we‚Äôve never had the resources to do it correctly, but now with Google, we hope to actually do it this year.”
While there are a variety of services that offer live Internet video streaming, none has yet managed to drive mainstream adoption. A YouTube offering could change that overnight.
