Birth of Ustream
Ustream.TV was born when the founders (Hunstable, Ham, and Feher) wanted a way for their friends in the Army who were deployed overseas in Iraq during the war to be able to communicate with their families back home. Ustream provided them a way to talk to all their relatives at once when free time in the war zone was limited.
In their first internet company, all the Ustream.TV founders had previously worked together on a internet based event photo sharing website that allowed users to add custom graphics to their photos with online printing through a partnership with Ezprints.com.
Launching their public beta in March 2007, Ustream.TV was the first of a series of live video sites include Justin.tv and Operator11.com. The company has seen large growth in the political, entertainment, and technology fields.[2]
Ustream.TV has witnessed many notable people streaming from politicians such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards[3] to artists like Tori Amos and the Plain White T's[4]. The technology community has also adopted Ustream to include Robert Scoble, Leo Laporte, Chris Pirillo, and Cali Lewis.
Ustream.TV recently announced partnerships with meebo [5] and Bebo. [6].
