One of the founders of
MySpace
is aiming to take on
YouTube
with the launch of
LiveVideo.com.
Brad
Greenspan's latest creation is billed as an "advanced on-demand interactive
broadcasting platform providing instant global reach and messaging to any user
with a webcam".
Users can create and broadcast live content alone, or in conjunction with
friends, colleagues or newly acquainted users, with LiveVideo.com's LiveShow
platform.
LiveShow boasts interactive features such as LiveTextChat, LiveCoHost and
LivePolls to encourage social interaction with a real-time community.
The platform also allows advanced video users to broadcast on their channel
with multiple cameras to create broadcast-quality shows.
"Move over MySpace, YouTube and other similar sites," the company said in a
statement.
"LiveVideo.com has innovated live streaming and community, and consolidates
social networking features into one easy-to-use platform.
"LiveVideo users can also manage their blogs, photos, videos, music and
networking sites from one location."
However, some experts have speculated that the service will be used
extensively to broadcast pornography.
