Friday, August 14, 2009 at 01:36PM On TWiST Today - Brad and John from Ustream
Jason's guests today (our first 2 guest episode!) are Brad Hunstable and John Ham, Co-Founders of Ustream. Watch live @ 1pm (PDT) right here! About Ustream: Ustream was founded in the summer of 2006 by John Ham, Brad Hunstable, and Dr. Gyula Feher as way to help overseas soldiers connect more efficiently with their families. John and Brad met as cadets at West Point. Serving as US Army as officers during a wartime environment, John and Brad noticed an opportunity for revolutionizing communication. Soldiers were limited by the phone or instant messenger to connect with family and friends back home. They could only talk with one person at a time. John and Brad wanted to find a way to allow soldiers to connect with all of their loves ones, all at the same time. Hence, our goal of creating a way for them to stream with family members in cities all over the U.S. and the world. After a few months of late night brainstorm sessions, John, Brad, and Gyula decided to take a risk on behalf of a better vision. As they say, the rest is history. Today, Ustream.TV empowers everyone from sports fans and guitar heroes to Presidential candidates and rock stars, with a camera and an Internet connection, to quickly and easily broadcast to a global audience of unlimited size. In less than two minutes, anyone can become a broadcaster by creating their own channel on Ustream or by broadcasting through their own site, empowering them to engage with their audience.
