JustinTV and lifecasting

JUSTIN

“Lifecasting” is a hot trend, and a symbol of humanity’s growing infatuation with social networking, video, reality TV, and watching other people’s lives. The irony is, of course, that all being “social” online is a contraction.

JustinTV, founded in San Fransisco, CA, with a Linux box and a mobile streaming camera, is constantly growing and evolving. It was originally one channel- the life of Justin Kan walking around 24/7. Now it has many lifecasting channels, not to mention unauthorized live streaming of sporting events, satellite channels, TV shows, movies, etc. With live chat, you can read and post comments while watching whatever stream is on.

You can also watch other people play video games online. 2,385 people are currently watching birds eat in a cage. I KNEW I should have brought the cameras to see Pan’s World.

And, of course, it is the place to chat with live underage teens for free.

It’s Youtube, MySpace, craigslist, reality TV, reruns, and The Truman Show all rolled up into one. And it’s FREE!

The rules: no nudity (not enforced). Copyright? Copy wha-?

By the way, it’s NOT cool to mention the JustinTV suicide while chatting there. That kid cried wolf so many times, it’s not even funny. No trolling! LOL Well, gotta run. I gotta watch people sleep on JustinTV. If I get bored, I can always change the channel and watch Star Trek channel, which plays every episode from every series. That’s over 400 hours of enjoyment right there. I can also check out the boxing or wrestling channels. But there are no commercials or pause button, so you have to urinate in a glass.

JustinTV: keeping people at home one day at a time.

Welcome to the Matrix, I hope you enjoy your stay.

    W.A.R.’s mockery of my existance :

    So close to real life its not even funny.
    I have the decency and good taste to NOT broadcast my day-to-day existence to the world.
    My life is boring and I know it, so I will spare you the details.
    indeed –

    I am one of the few –
    a dying breed.

    Everybody else likes to look into the camera and say,
    “Hey everybody its me again doing my webcast/videoblog” …

    They do this mostly on youtube and these people literally have no material whatsoever.

    I pretty much bailed out on the whole shirt-idea.
    kinda stupid with my whole 5 or 6 hits a day.
    the only guy who would wear the shirt would be me and other people would be like,

    R.A.W.? –
    whats that mean?
    and then I would explain to them that I have a blog and this shirt is to promote it.

    and then they would know for sure that they are talking to a complete loser rather than just suspect it, so I had to give up on that one.

    Damian – you are right about the matrix enveloping us.
    The movie was a warning about real life, and most people just dont get that.

  7. DamianHospital says:

    The Cube is another good movie like that.
    ***

    You and CCB3 like always talk bad about yourselves but you two guys have great creative ideas and are smarter and more decent than millions of people.

    I’d still love a R.A.W. JustinTV channel. I mean Justin is a millionaire now, and he recorded himself eating and sleeping. R.A.W.’s life is much more…interesting to watch.

  8. R.A.W. says:

    Thanks for the props but it wouldnt be “lifecasting” if i did it – it would be “no-lifecasting”.

    Id probably do it at this point if there was money in doing it but thats only because Im desparate.
    deep down I want my privacy-

    besides,there are some things that need to be kept clandestine.

    By the way –
    Where is CCB3’s blog, and is he still playing drums in Korea?

  9. Vahl says:

    CCB3: The BLOG

    Rap, comic strips, TV pilots, Pan the goat, Tampa Vice Squad, and much, MUCH MORE!!!

Progress and technology broke that raccoon's legs and took his life tonight. But now the suffering has ended for it. I mourned the raccoon and the way […]
