Ustream

I have recently started using Ustream, and have my own channel on the site, which is my user name of course. I just thought today i would give some sort of an opinionated review on the site.

The Good-

     – This site is very good and powerful on pronouncing your opinion, hobby’s, perferabilities etc… to the world.

     -It is very good for lets say, promoting your site. There are many viewers everyday, and your channel will most likely get at least 10 hits a day(if you go 24 hours of course). You can use Ustream, as a channel for your website, advertising and promoting certain events etc on your site.

     – One thing i like about Ustream is that you have the ability to paste your channel onto your website using html format. This way your website viewers get a feeling of communication between the website owner and themselves.

     – The ability to have virtual contact with your customer, viewer etc… This can really influence your visitor to return. Why? Because they get the chance to see what the website owner does, and it gives them a sense that they are apart of your business, website etc. It makes them feel that they have influence on what you are doing(It really does. I have been influenced by my visitors).

– Ustream is also free to use. They have a great free program that lets your broadcast and change images that your viewers are seeing. It also has the chatroom built inside of it so you are able to communicate with your viewers. You are also able to record video, This is really helpful if you want to upload it to your website, Youtube, and other video sites.

The Bad

     – Well there isn’t much of a bad. The Ustream recorder could be a little more user friendly and let the broadcaster have more control over the broadcast.

Ustream is a great way to broadcast your thoughts, and ideas.

thanks
