			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may know <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/">UStream.tv</a> is one of the best &quot;life streaming&quot; sites on the web today.&#160; They just recently received 11.1 million dollars from Doll Capital Management and existing investor The Band of Angels (<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/10/ustreamtv-takes-111-million-series-a/">TechCrunch</a> and <a href="http://mashable.com/2008/04/10/ustream-funding/">Mashable</a>).&#160; So, it may be growing in leaps and bounds really soon (I hope).</p>
<p>Today, I was a little concerned on how UStream did or did not handle <a href="http://www.twit.tv">TWiT</a>&#8216;s live broadcast.&#160; Leo Laporte had been broadcasting all morning/afternoon and he even reached 1000 plus users at one time.&#160; However, as soon as he started TWiT the UStream died 3 minutes into the broadcast.&#160; I know that Leo only has a DSL and his T1 won&#8217;t be &quot;live&quot; until next week&#8230; but, you would think that UStream would do everything they could to keep Leo Laporte!&#160; and&#8230; Leo even embedded his <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/leo-laporte-live">UStream</a> on to his new website: <a href="http://www.twitlive.tv">http://www.twitlive.tv</a> (at first), but after the mess up he put <a title="http://www.stickam.com/leolaporte" href="http://www.stickam.com/leolaporte">http://www.stickam.com/leolaporte</a> instead. Sad day for UStream <img src='http://blog.connectedgeek.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We all know that <a title="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/chris-pirillo-live" href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/chris-pirillo-live">Chris Pirillo Live</a>&#160; gets about 500 to 1000 viewers daily and UStream works with him and <a title="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ijustine" href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ijustine">iJustine</a> &#8211; averages about 300 to 500 viewers daily too.&#160; Why couldn&#8217;t UStream do the same for Leo Laporte (The Tech Guy)??</p>
<p>I will admit that during <a href="http://www.mahalo.com/Mahalo_VLOGIdol">Mahalo VLOGIdol</a>, UStream stepped up to the plate and did a fabulous job capturing the whole day at Mahalo headquarters.&#160; <br />As see here: <a title="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mahalo-idol-live" href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mahalo-idol-live">Mahalo Idol Live</a> and here <a title="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jason-calacanis" href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jason-calacanis">Jason &quot;Nation&quot; Calacanis</a> (who averages 100 viewers daily)</p>
<p>I am just hope that UStream doesn&#8217;t drop the ball and lose one of the greatest Internet icons the world has ever seen!!</p>
<p>Leo Laporte is AWESOME!!</p>
