Life TV
Everyone has heard of Justin.tv and iJustine. Innovators, or attention freaks, you decide, but they are the ones that started the craze. Live video feeds of every day people doing every day things. People around the world have jumped on this new medium of sharing, even big names in the Tech world like Leo Laporte (twit.tv/live) and Chris Pirillo (live.pirillo.com) to name a few. But this last Friday (Aug 24 2007) marked the first time this culture of “Live TV’ has boiled over into the real world:
Xanga.com has provided Kane, from a Washington D.C. radio station called Hot 99.5, a back pack with a similar setup that Justin from Justin.tv has. Kane is going to broadcast his life for 30 days with a possibility to renew. What does his new wife think about it? Are we going to see this leaking to Hollywood? Maybe not tomorrow, but who wouldn’t watch Paris Hilton’s JailbirdTV
