We had our first really successful live streaming of a Lacrosse Game this week. Over all the video quality was really good. The fans were enthusiastic. We topped out at around around 113 total people watching. There seemed to be a large word of mouth component, as viewers increased throughout the broadcast.
You can see below that we are 3rd in overall viewers after Chris Pirillo (Internet star)and SpaceVidcast.com (showing the space shuttle docking with the Internation Space Station).
The service that we used was ustream.tv. The others ones that we looked at where Yahoo! Live and Stickham.
We plan to do more testing in the coming weeks. And check out an upcoming game at our live streaming page:
