Although morbid in content, a new type of web casting is making the mainstream. Companies like Funeral-Cast are enabling mourning and funeral services to be broadcasted over the Internet. Call it insensitive, however, it is just a way society is learning to cope with the conveniences the internet brings to the user.
Funeral-Cast is, so far, one of the few consumer-oriented Webcasting companies to make a go of it. But Webcasting is picking up steady momentum among businesses, and tech analysts expect more consumer services, too.
The technology "will continue to gain traction, the more people get used to it," says Steve Vonder Haar, analyst at Interactive Media Strategies. "Five years from now, it'll become technology's biggest overnight sensation, a decade in the making."
