Justin.tv Rocks – This Young Entrepreneur Is Recording His Life, 24/7
I’ve seen the links and heard the buzz about Justin.tv all over the net. But today, while reading about it in the May issue of Business 2.0, I finally decided to find out what all the hype was about.
Simply put, Justin is a young entrepreneur living in San Francisco and rocking a video camera on his baseball cap to record his life, all day long. Justin also provides a live chat room on the site for viewers to connect. I love the concept.
While browsing through his site, I spent some time watching some archived clips of Justin’s life. I saw a movie of a bunch of people drinking beers and singing a tune, what appeared to be a Justin.tv theme song.
Then I flipped over to the live recording session: Justin is actually eating lunch with his parents right now. Mmm…Mmm… and it’s making me hungry.
Though this may seem corny or a waste of time to many people, I really don’t think so. I think Justin is providing a useful service to entrepreneurs across the world by giving them a glimpse (actually, the whole thing) into the real life of a real entrepreneur. It’s amusing, funny, and education all at the same time.
I think that all entrepreneurs should do something like this and share their lives with the world. I would certainly subscribe to other young entrepreneurs video feeds and watch.

lol…not sure i’d watch this concept - even though it was a more famous tech-head doing it, for that matter.
90% of the time it’ll be slow, boring, perspiration work. long, tedious hours - alone, boring, with a slight ounce of depression. all not fun to watch.
the remaining 10% is where big decisions are made and stuff happens that’s newsworthy and fun to watch.

Yeah, I think it’s pretty cool. But I agree, he needs to provide some real value in order for it to really catch on and hold people. I’d like to see him teaching us various things.

I’m not sure about this. Having a video feed of my real life. I never got into the reality tv craze, but if it works for him and helps him grow his business then that good for him.

Yeah, I really think this is going to go a long way with laying the foundation for his business. It’s a smart move.
