WSJ: Google was going to build Periscope/Meerkat years ago, but didn’t have the resources | 9to5Google

WSJ: Google was going to build Periscope/Meerkat years ago, but didn’t have the resources | 9to5Google: "Google-owned YouTube had a chance to beat Twitter’s Periscope and its biggest competitor, Meerkat, to market by somewhere in the ballpark of 8 years, but decided against the move due to the fact that a large portion of the company’s resources were engaged in fending off a Viacom lawsuit and creating the Content ID copyright detection system."

Amazon buys Twitch for $970M, pushes into video streaming market

Amazon buys Twitch for $970M, pushes into video streaming market: "Twitch started life in 2011 as an offshoot of former live Internet broadcast site Justin.tv, itself cofounded by Shear in 2007, and was recently rumored to be in acquisition talks with Google and Yahoo.

This is cool but it's relatively easy for YouTube to add this functionality.

VirtualEyez - 3 Channel Video Switcher with Chroma-Keying for Mac

b-l-a-c-k-o-p™ - Mac Free Download | webcam Live Streaming Video Mixer | Graphic | Design | Art | Apple: Introducing VirtualEyez 2.0 - 3 Channel Video Switcher with Chroma-Keying for Mac - Free Download Apple/Mac/OSX
We're proud to present this new version of VirtualEyez for Intel Macs. It runs on all modern Macs with 10.6.8 and higher. The CMIO virtual camera driver is compatible with Mavericks and Safari, and the VDIG camera driver spans compatibility backwards to QuickTime(tm) camera apps. For this version of VirtualEyez, we wanted to distill the app down to its most valuable features and make those features as fast as possible. We ultimately dispatched with CoreImage in exchange for its faster and more primitive cousin, OpenGL.

If you're an iMovie fanatic like I am, you might want to check in to this live streaming app for the Mac that makes it possible to create a virtual set environment (like most desk-based comedy / news shows) and then broadcast the whole kaboodle live as a Google Hangout or direct upload to YouTube.

As far as I can tell it works with all the webcam apps that I use, including Flash streaming apps embedded in Safari.
