My buddies in San Francisco just launched one of the craziest website around: Justin.tv. Justin Kan and friends, all ex-Kiko.com founders are behind this.

The idea is simple… Justin has a cam strapped to himself and they broadcast live, 24/7. What’s truly outstanding is the technology behind all this which allows them to be totally mobile. Their Internet-connected PDA allows them to broadcast from pretty much any decent-size city in America. What a great way to let you experience a day in Justin’s exciting life!

I was first informed of their project in September or October. I thought it was a great but crazy idea… no more privacy! I knew Justin was the kind of guy willing enough to do it, and he did.

Congrats on the launch, guys! The site is really impressive. I wish you luck.

As many know, I’ve never been in the “anti-MS” camp, but considering the money that was invested in it, Vista is by far the most dissapointing piece of software they have ever released. And I mean it.
