Well it has been awhile since I have visited Justin.tv, but the past couple of days I have found myself going back and seeing what’s up. It really hasn’t changed much, home page still the same from last. But they have integrated many things for broadcasters. For example they are now able to record their live feed then upload it directly to their YouTube account; this is also added for everyone in the highlights so the viewer can share the clip with the world. They have also allowed broadcasters to make a playlists so video can be playing while they’re not live. But sometimes it takes a few seconds to realize it is a playlist and not a live stream. I think the JTV crew should put like “live” somewhere on the player when it is live, but that’s just me. They have also added some other features but those were my favorite.
Anyways now to the broadcasters. Well sadly a lot of the original starter JTV broadcasters have kind of moved on, which is cool and sad at the same time. They get on every once in awhile but not nearly as much anymore. For example Justin is never on, but I guess that was his plan, maybe, he got his site popular and then opened it, now I guess he does the backed business thing now, also probably he got tired lugging everything around all the time for so long, I know I would. Let’s see TibTie has also not been on too much, or at least not while I have been on, those two were hilarious. Another is Alexa, she was cool and played some good music, especially my request, Stellar by Incubus, which she played right away.
Also I guess Justine, she was cool and went to some interesting places but didn’t really visit her chat room much because there were just way too many people in there, and well just got annoying. She was cool though, she made some awesome vids.
After seeing all those channels off air I noticed an old fave, Holland Girl aka Flow was live, I was like awesome.
She always seemed awesome, and laid back, the way to be, just go with the flow but also be a hardass when you need to be. Also she had some good vids. One in particular, well two, but mainly one which was her Vote for Flow vid to get on the top broadcasters list, go there and vote for her cause she is totally rad. Also I would of liked to embed her vid into my post but Wordpress.com doesn’t allow embeds from there yet, I think I need to contact Matt to add Viddler to the allowed list, first need to find the feedback email. So here are some screens of the vid, but make sure you watch the vid because the music is awesome.
*Here’s the video, I found in the embed Viddler gives you the code to embed on Wordpress.*

Oh and supposedly she makes all her vids in Microsoft Movie Maker, and if she made that video with that, well she deff deserves a drink or whatever for that, congrats. I wonder what she could do with something like Sony Vegas or FinalCut…
Anyways vote for her cause she is just awesome, plus I heard her playing a 311 song, Amber to be precise, on one of her first vlog video, it’s a little sad but then gets a little better towards the end. Now I wonder is she listens to Incubus…
But sadly it looks like she won’t be able to stream at school because they block it, bastards, but there are always ways around that, and I think I know a few that can’t be blocked. So Flow if you stop by and game to stream from time to time at school hit me up in a comment or email.
Another person over at JTV that seemed cool was Becky. I really haven’t seen too much of her on JTV, most likely because I haven’t been on in awhile, who knows.
When I stopped by she was hanging with some friends playing some kickass RockBand, and if you haven’t played it, play it, well as long as if it is with a few friend otherwise it isn’t too much fun. Anyways I watched them play a few songs and must say they are pretty damn good. They all played on hard or expert and got high scores; they may have not played super hard songs, but still none the less good. But after seeing Becky sing, well I think she has played those songs a bit too much because she seemed to know all the songs by hear, not hard but still. Plus she has an awesome voice and a few songs even sounds like her. She also even sang to the viewers, showoff, ha-ha. Here’s a screen shot or two of their jam session.
Oh and the song when she sang to the crowd she got a 97% on expert, very impressive there Becky, keep up the awesome singing.
So if you find yourself bored and have some time to kill stop over at JTV, theres always someone streaming, hopefully not some attention whore. If you want an update on who those people might be, or just some general news about JTV, and more in depth stuff check the gossip blog about JTV, JTVGossip, its a pretty cool blog I read from time to time. They don’t seem to update much anymore, and when they do it is mostly the scandals, but hey it prob brings them the hits they want.
