YouTube Goes ‘Live’ with Streaming Experiment

Google's YouTube division is testing the waters of offering a live video streaming channel that gives third parties the capability to broadcast live programming on the Web. Starting this Monday and Tuesday at 8 a.m. (PT), the online video giant introduces Live on YouTube -- a destination that will offer two days of live entertainment programming. YouTube says that its efforts are part of a "live streaming platform trial." Live on YouTube video content can be accessed via YouTube.com or via an embedded Web app that can be placed into a Website or blog.
