Interesting to see what happens. Personally I think the technology has become a commodity and unless one of the live streaming sites gets way out in front quickly Yahoo will still win.

They have a platform to market to 130M uniques per month. Nobody else can fight against that.

The only companies that don't do well for Yahoo are either a bad idea or outmoded. In a sense, Yahoo acts as a good litmus test. If lifecasting is a good idea or not (if good web ideas are gauged by traffic, which they are) will be decided by yahoo.

This is the cutting-edge stuff coming out of the Yahoo advanced products group? Lifecasting is so...2007.

They really ought to layoff the entire brickhouse team. That group seems to be perpetually stuck about 12-24 months behind the rest of the interwebs...Yahoo is better of buying companies and shutting them down 12 months later than building them and shutting them down 12 months later (at least the small companies can make some $$$ in the process).
