Yahoo's YouTube Killer

Yahoo Live Now Active

Six people have quietly launched Yahoo Live. This experiment comes from the Google competitor, but with a very small team of testers, will they be able to correctly evaluate if the YouTube competitor will meet market demands?

With the new service, Yahoo provides all the back end support allowing anyone to webcast a production. Aimed squarely at Youtube.com, Yahoo Live wants you to offer the experience of being able to react to fan feedback.
