I was looking at yahoo news and found and article on a phenomenon called Lifecasting. , Justine Ezarik,You can find some @ http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/britain_orwell_files;_ylt=Aogv8fc3ihQGF8PE4Y_9hIbq188F Justine, one of the lifecasters written about admits it can be difficult. People watching all day and judging. For Justin, the former physics and philosophy major, there have been cases that watchers are so bored they shake things up - calling 911 to go his apartment or a bomb threat at a stadium he was at. Why lifecast at all, then? The article explains. Well, there's the money. Justin and his partners received startup financing from an Internet investment group to launch Justin.tv. Viewership has grown; Justin says the site currently gets between 30,000 and 40,000 visitors a day. And then there's the fame. Justin.tv may not have a large audience compared with "The Real World" or "The Surreal Life," but consider this: within weeks of launching her channel on Justin.tv, Justine was in Los Angeles, meeting with one of Hollywood's most powerful and influential talent agencies You can read more here: http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/40075/the-real-reality-tv I'm wondering what mylotters think of this kind of thing. Its one way to make money -its free to view though. Would you do it? It reminds me of EdTV the movie and if you saw that, well you can imagine the trouble it could cause.
