Webcasting in the Workplace

webcasting in the workplace

Thu, Oct 18, 2007

Many of you will know Justin.tv. What used to belong to a single guy broadcasting his life online in real time, however, is now a community of said lifecasters. Like Stickam, anyone with a webcam and an Internet connection can put themselves on display for the world’s Netizens.

As a result, it shouldn’t surprise me that someone has taken a camera away from a cozy bedroom and into the workplace. Meet Cara:

Webcam in the workplace or at the job

This is her page, showing her live as a vet tech. According to her online bio:

I am a veterinary technician/ bartender/ pet sitter/ tupperware consultant (lol). I guess you can say im a busy chick. As soon as I go mobile I will take you on the adventures of my life. What really goes on behind the bar!! I bartend at a club in Queens.

Do I think adding Web cams on the job will catch-on? No. Do I think it would be clever and remarkable? Yes. It’s hard to see from the pic above, but her page has already (the site hasn’t been live as-is that long) received over 112,000 views.

P.S. I’m occasionally lifecasting via MySpace and at Justin.tv/cheezhead if anyone’s ever interested. Doing it on Cheezhead tends to slow down the site too much.
