Crazy Prediction: Facebook Live Set to Take On YouTube, Hulu and UStream
So here’s a crazy prediction for your Thursday morning. Last week, Facebook officially announced their Facebook Live app which is their own little way of showing off all the hipsters that roll through their offices and as a way of updating users about the behind-the-scenes doings at Facebook in all its live-streaming glory. You can go and check it out here.
I could be reading way too much into this, but I’m going to be interested in seeing how this evolves. This could be the beginning of Facebook’s take into live user-streaming video content. Instead of having all their users leave the site to record their “hauler” videos on YouTube and UStream, Facebook Live could allow them to record and interact with their friends and fans directly on Facebook’s site. It could go even deeper to take on such services like Hulu and actually stream live TV right to the web. That would be cool.
Just my 2 cents. Am I taking this prediction too far? Let me know in the comments below.
