Here’s a screen shot from Ustream’s Facebook live event page.

Ustream’s service features:

  • Ability to customize headers and banners
  • Live interactive video to promote upcoming projects and engage fans
  • Ability to chat with millions of fans simultaneously
  • Facebook live stream box allows fans to communicate with their favorite brands and artists and to spread their comments virally among friends

Ustream on Facebook: for brands, artists who want to go LIVE, interact with fans. Live streaming video Facebook Application, chat software app and script.

Both services seems to target bands and artist who want to broadcast live and interact with fans on Facebook and Twitter. While I think this is a great idea and plug for both platforms including Facebook. My question is why host a live video on Facebook when you can host the event on your main website? But I do get the simplicity factor since bands, artist  and people spend so much time on Facebook, so just add the ability to host a live video show directly from a fanpage. hmmm

Has anyone used either one of the services from within FaceBook and you’re not a in a band or a music artist? If so how was your experience?

@iamDiddy says, take that to mogulus and the twitter nation

The King of Bad Boy & MTV ‘s Making the Band super producer Sean aka Diddy Combs is officially taking over or at least trying to take over twitter. In recent weeks Diddy has been pimping his twitter profile (@iamDiddy) more than Donnie’s 1st album and although I didn’t see the show, I heard he was on Ellen talking about twitter like he was the cofounder … only Diddy.

The other day I saw a tweet by Diddy saying he was live and it went to his Mogulus live stream url http://www.mogulus.com/ptwittytvlive Take a look at Diddy on Mogulus, it was short lived..

Diddy was forced to switch to Mogulus after high traffic volume shut down his feed at Ustream.TV. Surprisingly, while Diddy was broadcasting on Mogulus, the Ustream.TV team contacted him and asked him to come back to Ustream.tv because they worked things out. Ok, Diddy… I wish I had that problem. Either way, the next day Diddy was all set with a custom Ustream.TV design, without the normal Ustream.TV chat but a tweetgrid.com widget. Ustream.TV show url: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ptwittytv
PTWITTYTV, Ustream.TV_ PTWITTY TV IS LIVE!!! twitter.com_iamdiddy. Entertainment,Music Videos

Why tweetgrid, instead of the live chat? Simple: @iamDiddy is all about the tweets and followers. He even said on the Mogulus live stream that he wasn’t responding to the chat but only tweets. On top of that, guess what the #1 trending word was on search.twitter.com Friday? Diddy.
Diddy - Twitter Search

So can the man who has the #1 show on MTV now have the #1 show on twitter and Ustream.TV? Only time will tell. Also check out: P Diddy Becomes the Newest Celeb to Use Ustream.tv on Mashable.com.

  • What are your thoughts on P.Twitty.TV?
  • Is Diddy over doing it or is he showing the rest of the music industry how to use social media to survive?
  • What music artist would you like to see use social media like Diddy?
  • Did Mogulus miss an opportunity to work with Diddy while he was using their service?
