Live video broadcasting from your webcam
I was over to mySpace lastnight and I saw an ad in the right side column for a new vLog location this time with a .ca URL blogTV.ca is the first Canadian social network destination developed for Canadians; a place for broadcasters to showcase their talents, watch recorded broadcasts, interact with the community and more. Your fans await you; do not keep them waiting! .. so I joined up and became a member ... frankly I didn't have enough guts to do more than a minute live , but I watched others do their live broadcasts and noticed other members could chat realtime with the vLogger. Unfortunately I couldn't input anything so I appeared more as a lurker .. not the best rep to get. Here are a few questions I posed to the moderation staffer
What is blogtv.ca?

Once you start broadcasting, you can choose to start recording at any time during your live broadcast. Each separate recorded portion of a live broadcast becomes a unique recorded broadcasts and available immediately on blogtv.ca.

good morning,
so are you discouraged?
the technology will catch up to us. ... after trying to do a tvshow on blogTV.ca
I listened to some of the stuff I recorded and couldn't hear you except for an echo in the background ... me thinks a lot has to do with the speed of my machine .... but agreed the techno is just not there yet there is also other software that can be used in conjuntion .... have you heard some of the other shows? everyone is limited to who's in front of their owncam and the chat written below.
I haven't seen any one use the co-host format yet does it work ... I still like the idea but we'll have to give them our views can you complain in the forum does your id work there me no I can read but I can't post and my id pass doesn't work there. Again maybe my machine I don't know... how come my letter ended up in your spambox?
