Cooler than the iPhone: Eventstreaming

Really interesting and provocative post today over at one of my favorite blogs, TechCrunch. If you couldn't (or didn't want to) stand in line for the iPhone, you could be almost right there thanks to the live videostream folks were putting up.
In this post, TechCrunch calls eventstreaming "the missing link in Web 2.0’s challenge to network television."
Pretty compelling.
Another interesting place to stop and ponder is this post on Seth Goldstein's blog about Facebook, and how and why it is becoming the "social network of choice for us chic geeks." One reason, Goldstein says, is because Facebook is allowing peole to create new applications for use on the network .You've no doubt seen some new apps lately on Facebook, and I think some of you have proposed creating new apps as part of this project. Well, guess what? Facebook would *love* that!
And then, because I am a cockeyed optimist and like to hang with the "half-full" crowd, I urge you to slide over to the MediaShift blog where Mark Glaser lists 10 Reasons there's a bright future for journalism.
And talk back. What helps you and what inspires you?
