Ustream just turned on new features — including a cool new “hotness” reporter — and I have an interview with CEO Chris Yeh talking about the new features.
New features in Ustream’s version 3?
1. Much improved chat.
2. Polling so you can ask your audience their answers to questions.
3. Shout meter so you can tell everyone that the show you are watching is hot right now.
Ustream is one of a new group of streaming video networks where you can easily send streaming video out to the world. In the 24-minute interview Chris Yeh explains all sorts of stuff about Ustream’s business.
And if streaming video isn’t your thing, I also put up an interview with a CNET executive, Erik Kokkonen, talking about his view of what’s happening in online media.
UPDATE: TechCrunch has more on this morning’s announcements.
