Ustream.tv is a streaming video site (not to be confused with YouTube, though you can link to Youtube videos on there in your live broadcasts). It is best known for the animal cams, including the PuppyCam and for being the official online outlet of CBS News, though it's becoming increasingly popular with musicians to broadcast live performances, studio practices, or video blogs.
Provides examples of:
- Attention Whore: It's a streaming video site. Of course it's going to have these. Possibly more than YouTube does.
- Cuteness Proximity: Any cute animal you can think of will likely have a cam on Ustream, inspired by the now-finished Puppy Cam.
- Epic Rocking: Often features live practices, club shows, and the occasional music festival like the Japanese rock festival Jack In The Box. Anyone watching at a certain time got to see Dead End, 44 magnum, Loudness, Vamps, and more.
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Yoshiki Hayashi was an executive adviser of the site and has his own channel at Ustream.tv/yoshiki, though it is rarely updated.
- He's moved on to freeworld.tv, where he's a co-owner.
- Hot Pursuit: One of the main traffic drivers aside from music and cute animals are the high speed chases.
