YouTube + Twitter = Ustream.tv

Meet the bastard child of YouTube and Twitter: Ustream.tv, which allows anyone to put up a live embeddable video stream. Chris Pirillo calls it part of his “narcissystem“. I’d embed his stream here if it weren’t such an autoplay annoyance. Note to Ustream: drop autoplay from your embeds. Not everyone on the Web is a brain-dead MySpacer.
I’m sure there are less narcissistic applications for this — live event coverage, webcam porn — but you won’t see me on it. Much of my life is NSFW.
