If you're looking to start a live stream, you're most likely considering either Justin.tv or Ustream.tv to stream on. I get asked all the time which is better… so here is my comparison of the two

Above all, I prefer uStream, even after the hellish customer support process. But, look at my comparisons and decide for yourself.

 

Ustream	Justin
Higher quality streams	Lower quality, less reliable
Better broadcaster built in	Unreliable broadcaster, but you can use FME
Bad customer support	Good customer support
Great community	Trollish community, but can be good on some nights
Featured list	"Producer" list
Geared toward professional type shows	More social atmosphere
IRC client friendly	White-listing process, hard to connect with mIRC/Colloquy

Video Card Fail

iPhone at Wal-Mart?

Wal-Mart is officially selling the iPhone 3G for $197… I think this is a bad thing. Wal-Mart must be one of the biggest companies In the world, if not the biggest. I think people can go to their local Apple or AT&T store and purchase an iPhone rather than drive more people to go to the already corrupted and business giant wal-mart.

This was just a quick little post, Leave comments and let me know what you all think :)

Samson CO1U USB Condensor Mic

I have been recording videos and doing my “show” now for about seven months. In that time, I have used a variety of different microphones. I have used everything from those ten dollar wal-mart headsets, to the more expensive Logitech headsets, and my favorite up until now; the Gigaware 1.3MP webcam with built in microphone.
I had several people suggest the Samson CO1U when I decided to upgrade to a high quality condenser mic; so I went searching online for it. I was able to acquire the Samson CO1U podcasting kit for right around $140 USD. It included the microphone itself, 10ft USB cable, BL3 boom stand, shock mount, pop filter and optional software.
I have never been happier with any microphone I have used. This mic will allow me to improve the audio quality on the live video stream, audio quality on my videos, and my radio show on Geeks Radio. If you are looking for an affordable condenser mic, without having to worry about a mixer or interface, the Samson CO1U USB condenser mic is the way to go!
