Comment on The Disruptor In The Valley

Justin.tv, now the Web's biggest portal for live video

umm, what? Is Justin.tv bigger than Ustream and Livestream? I seriously doubt that.

Ustream is often higher in unique views (but not always, and not currently), but Justin.tv has people stay on site almost twice as long, and has almost half the bounce rate. It certainly pumps far more video in and out (at one point at least more than even youtube, but I don't think we've measured that in a while). Livestream is a distant third. Ustream spends a lot of money projecting their image, while we just keep making sure that our product is several times better.

Thanks for info, I really had no idea. Ustream just, well, seemed like they are BIG (good marketing then). I have posted this ~17 days ago, but I had no response: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1755458

I even emailed you guys, but got no response whatsoever. Ustream and Livestream both responded.

Just posted a comment to it (: Email may have fallen into a black hole or something. Good luck!

Yes it is. Check Alexa or Compete, Justin.tv is ahead by a significant margin.

I checked google trends: http://www.google.com/trends?q=justin.tv,+ustream,+livestrea...

I didn't know that, if true - serious props, since ustream seems to be a whole lot more.

sorry, small nitpick with your methodology- try these as more realistic comparisons (still not exactly apples to apples):

http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22justin+tv%22%2C+ustream%2C...

http://www.google.com/trends?q=justin.tv%2C+ustream.tv%2C+li...

np, and thanks - since I don't really know how to use google trends properly.
