You know, this whole televised life thing got old when it was Sean Patrick Live, nearly a decade ago. Is there something I'm missing about justin.tv?
I'm not sure why this is supposed to be compelling. The presentation has changed, but the content hasn't. Or is it that the time is right, and there are enough voyeuristic people and enough revenue to be made from Google ads to make it worth doing?
Also, internet video has gone mainstream. YouTube + blogging + other user-generated content has just grown the appetite for watching everyday people do and say outrageous things. Add into this the presentation aspects (live, all day, wireless) and it becomes something different, unique, and compelling that, apparently, has a huge audience.
