Video Streaming For and By the Users: Justin Kan, Founder of justin.tv Speaks about the Progression from the Aha-moment

admin    Google TV     About, Ahamoment, Founder, from, Justin, justin.tv, Progression, Speaks, streaming, Users, Video

Justin admits that without co-founders Emmett Shear, Michael Seibel and Kyle Vogt, he doesn’t think he would have had the willpower to start such a company. Having a team that gets along so well and shares the same vision represent tangible success factors for which Justin is thankful. They step up and share the work with comforting reliability, even in the down-cycles of the company.

Justin and Emmett grew up together in Seattle and maintained friendship through their college years at Yale. Upon graduation they started Kiko, a web calendar, working on it for about a year and receiving roughly $50,000 in investment capital when Google Calendar was released and took over the market. To exit that project, they did what most companies would never consider: putting it up for sale on eBay. “We had no idea at the time what would happen,” Justin admitted. While expecting to receive little more than the amount invested, they had $258,000 upon the auction’s end, and were ecstatic and surprised.

Justin’s interest in technology is a stretch from his education. He and Emmett had thought their web-calendar idea had potential as a company, but he admitted that they “had no idea how that process would even work.” An email from Y-Combinator-a current investor in justin.tv-about a boot camp-style program that taught techies about creating businesses online around technology found its way to Justin. “That experience was what enabled us to know that you could even have a start-up, and that we could do it.” Little did Justin know, that brief email would eventually change his career direction.

Justin.tv evolved from what started as an online reality-TV show they called a ‘lifecast,’ that consisted of Justin with a live broadcast camera strapped to his head. They started filming in October 2006 and launched the first version of their concept by March of 2007. Viewers flocked to this ‘lifecast’ and some even called it addictive. The website’s most prominent feedback was from viewers asking how to create their own shows and post live video content online. That is when the team decided they weren’t going to be as successful as producers of different shows as they would be as technologists. They went from content producers to creating a website that fosters a community with user contributions.

Live video streaming doesn’t literally mean ‘live,’ but refers to broadcasts that occur synchronously so that viewers are watching the same content at the same time. This creates interconnectivity that leads to a strong feeling of community with the use of a chat feature. The team created a platform to make live streaming of personal content available and easy to use, which the company continues to focus upon.

The funding for justin.tv came from three rounds, with seed money mostly from Y-Combinator, who was fairly easy to work with as they were already familiar with the team as they invested in Kiko. During the angel round, they had the advantage of a demo of Justin walking around the city, which stimulated investors’ interest. Venture capitalists came after they launched the justin.tv website while working on creating the platform. Their success in that round was partially due to the collaborative buzz about Justin-TV from the Today Show, MTV and countless written articles. The founders consider Paul Graham-among those initial investors and founder of Y-Combinator-an influential role model. Justin explains that every time they go to him for advice, they come away inspired to keep building the company and working hard to reach their goals. 

Justin clearly recalls the exact moment he realized that the website might truly be successful: a Saturday in March of 2008 when the website received a million page-views. It wasn’t until then that they felt, “Wow, this is actually a significant amount of people on the site.” Justin.tv now receives over 25 million daily views and growing, yet the founders still worry that those numbers will start to plateau. They have gained significant experience and insight, such as discovering that they wasted much money on consultants. They also learned the hard way how to negotiate contracts successfully, and are still figuring out how to better work with people off-site; they find it difficult to communicate exactly what they want and need.

Justin is proud of the website’s breadth, sometimes pushing 177 gigabytes of video bandwidth. To put that into perspective, a single gigabyte can be compared to almost 900,000 pages of text. It’s extremely impressive to know that their team started just a few years out of college without much experience. Justin explains that the key was continually learning and having each member grow into their roles within the company. For any entrepreneur, he stresses, “Don’t give up. If you’re smart enough and keep trying things, eventually you’re going to make something work.” This is especially difficult for web-based companies because of the bipolar nature of the industry. Page hits often get an initial spike of traffic and then die down for a period, followed by unpredictable success or failure. Listening to users is critical for Internet success; Justin shares that they “just tried to figure out what people like and support it.”

Justin.tv is now one of the largest online video sites, with over 40 million unique visitors per month and more than 40,000 different broadcasts every day. Despite those numbers, the company is still fairly small, with only 16 people gradually added to the team. Justin’s ultimate vision for the company is to be “synonymous with live video online.”

This young Physics and Philosophy major is well on his way to achieving such a goal, with a simple email and a key website milestone served as aha moments that have changed his life.

Discover How Pc Satellite TV Software Works That Lets Users Watch Unlimited Free Internet Tv!

admin    Google TV     Discover, Free, Internet, Lets, Satellite, Software, Unlimited, Users, Watch, Works.

The term PC Satellite TV has so many different variations such as Satellite for PC and Satellite TV on PC that you can become quite confused if they didn’t reflect a specific name of a software. Nevertheless for this article, I decided to use the first term to represent all the software available over the Net since it has the most number of searches on Google with the phrase Satellite TV included.

The other two terms came in a distant second and third respectively. However there comes another term called ‘Proprietary Software’ which defines all of them better, whether or not Satellite TV makes up part of the term.

Proprietary Software can be define as computer software produced by someone that has restriction rights as to its use, modification, copying, or republishing. You may be more familiar with the term Copyrights which also prohibits any user of the software from tampering with the source code, reselling it, etc.

Proprietary Software also includes all freeware and shareware software which can be duplicated and distributed by the producer to the public, making them available either as free or non-free software to the public. You can learn more by going to Wikipedia and search for Proprietary Software.

When you click a channel link from any PC Satellite TV player’s (actual software) within 20 seconds the player will access, retrieve and stream the channel or video/audio media file into smaller pieces so that you can watch for instance a TV show without having to wait for it to download completely.

PC Satellite TV gives you access to “Place Shifting,” the latest generation of technology for users to watch 1000s of different channels from across the globe. This technology surpasses conventional TV as we know it today with its ability to broadcast both TV and radio channels (stations) Worldwide, then stream these channels (or media files) right across a computer’s I.P. address in HQD (high quality definition) to the user’s PC.

These products offer a safe and legal gateway to Internet TV because, 1) they don’t convert signals from the air to our TV sets in the conventional way, and 2) Internet TV channels all come from licensed Internet media owners who offer them free of charge. In other words, legal PC Satellite TV software doesn’t decode or descramble any signals or access any paid TV channels–it all comes from the Public Domain or World Wide Web.

However, when downloading video and audio files such as movies and music videos they may be somewhat questionable as to their legal use. Copyrights laws exist for many of them with exception to the ones that come from the free Public Domain. But how do you know? Simply put, you don’t in most cases!

For instance when I downloaded the Satellite TV for PC 2007 software package, it included links to download other free TV players such as the Ares and TVU players. The Ares offers P2P (peer to peer) which means file sharing and you have access to a ton of movie downloads and more. I could download a new released movie as soon as or right before it started showing in movie theaters.

Also, once in a great while, I noticed a bootleg movie or two after downloading it. I didn’t know this at first, since I was new to all of this many months ago but you get my point.

That said, some of the top PC Satellite TV software packages don’t include video downloads but others that do have been quite popular. The ones without the downloads still offer great entertainment such as premium, on-demand and HDTV movie and all types of sports channels, including TV shows and much more (virtually in any language Worldwide).

PC Satellite TV products don’t give you a stand alone software. Instead, they rely on free software such as Windows Media Player, RealPlayer and Microsoft .Net Frameswork in order for them to work on your computer. With special features to enhance TV viewing more and a hi-tech TV player producing great quality audio/video as well as swift loading and playback time, users can watch whatever they like in an enjoyable, legal and safe environment.

Finally, these types of products require a Windows-based, MAC, or Linux desktop or laptop computer with a broadband connection. Users need either a DSL or High Speed connection at 512kbps or higher, in order to get the best video and audio quality with a high overall performance.

Users pay a small one-time downloading fee to get instant access to unlimited entertainment, while saving money in the long run when compared to Satellite and Cable TV high monthly fees. And it helps eliminate any need for movie/video rentals/buying, as well as going to movie theaters often. For more information, go to PC Satellite TV Reviews
