Justin.tv Diary: Weeks Two and Three: Absence, Ideas, Lost Friends
Wow, it’s been nearly two weeks since I last wrote about Justin.tv (or indeed anything!). In that time I’ve not been broadcasting at all, partially because of a week-long illness, and also because of “stage fright”. I don’t particularly feel that there’s much of interest to broadcast at present.
I do have a few ideas, including musical ones, of how to make my broadcasts a little more interesting, but I won’t be implementing them until at least Tuesday next week.
Also, sadly, one of the people who I had built up quite a friendship with on Justin.tv, on their channel, has stopped broadcasting, effectively deleted everything from their home page, and left. That’s quite sad, as I now don’t have an easy way of contacting her.
That’s one of the perils of online friendships, I guess. They’re quite fragile. It’s all too easy for people to leave one service or another, and effectively disappear. When they’re several thousand miles away, that makes it very difficult to maintain contact.
Oh well, I suppose I ought to get used to it. Sad, though.

Hey Andy,
I recently signed up with Justin.tv as well, I haven’t started broadcasting though… do you know of any other similar services? The only ones I have come across thus far are ustream.tv and stickam.com. Why did you choose to go with Justin.tv?

Hi James,
I chose Justin.tv primarily because I’d read a couple of reviews on it, didn’t know much about other sites, and had made a few friends on it.
You could try BlogTV.com, which one of my online friends who was a JTV moved to recently. I don’t like it so much, but it works, and is supposed to have a smaller delay (about one second) when broadcasting.
