YouTube Begins Live Streaming Trials

An anonymous reader writes "YouTube is running a (very) brief trial of their new live streaming platform: 'This new platform integrates live streaming directly into YouTube channels; all broadcasters need is a webcam or external USB/FireWire camera. Included in the test is a "Live Comments" module which lets you engage with the broadcaster and the broader YouTube community. For the purpose of the trial, this offering will only be available today and tomorrow. Based on the results of this initial test, we'll evaluate rolling out the platform more broadly to our partners worldwide.'"

Wow, live streaming from telephones? You know what would be really awesome? If you could arrange it somehow with another person to be streaming their voice over telephone while you stream yours, and then you could both "tune in" to each others' streams. Then you could basically have a voice conversation with each other, using nothing but phones! Technology moves so fast!
