Microlinear Could be Big — Believe in the Longtail of Live Video!!!!

Live webcasting of video of events is just one aspect the company's offering. A very important functionality of Livestream is the publishing of live, ongoing programming.

This means publishers can put up a continuing stream of content. At our Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable at MSNBC last fall, Max explains this in this video I've posted today

This event was streamed by Mogulus: This is incredible: the round table live show on Mogulus has had 185,000 stream since November 1 of last year.

You can watch our MSNBC conference right on our LiveStream channel. It's a good one — and it's "live" and still getting lots of views!

Best to Max on the crew on the new branding and continued success.
