LiveVideo.com: Yahoo Live Done Right

LiveVideo.com from MySpace founder Brad Greenspan’s company LiveUniverse is yet another live streaming service, but it combines the best of existing services with Yahoo Live style functionality for a package worth looking at.

LiveVideo.com offers the following features:

• show archiving, so users can record shows to be played back later
• embedding of live streams
• chat associated with the stream
• video conferencing Yahoo Live style, in that users can add other streaming users to their page and interact with them
• Comment board/ profile page similar to YouTube where users can leave comments
• Photo gallery, no quite Flickr, but allows users to share photos

LiveUniverse is pitching LiveVideo.com as “the first fully interactive, global, live streaming platform;” it’s not, but it is a feature rich offering that may well find favor.
