also marks Shaquille O'Neal's first game as a Phoenix Sun and his return to
Los Angeles.
Steve Nash, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, will connect with
fans via the LiveVideo.com site approximately 45 minutes following the
conclusion of a game when he enters his car to drive home. During his drive
home, Nash will provide fans with his take on the game -- its highlights
and lowlights, and answer fan questions in real time. This unique, dynamic
format represents the first ever live fan Q&A opportunity with an NBA
superstar following a game.
"LiveVideo.com is leading the evolution of online content and
community," said Brad Greenspan, chairman of LiveUniverse. "Our technology,
exclusive content and usability place LiveVideo.com at the forefront of
this digital revolution."
Greenspan continued, "We're incredibly excited to have an athlete of
Steve Nash's caliber launch his direct fan interaction on LiveVideo.com.
Programs such as 'Drive Home with Steve Nash' are indicative of the type of
unique content and creativity you can expect from our site. LiveVideo.com
is ushering in a new age of online entertainment and community."
In the same vein, LiveVideo.com is committed to providing a safe and
secure user environment. While the site collects personal information from
users, such as desired username, email address, country, zip code, gender
and birth date, LiveVideo.com does not share or make public any user
information unless a user chooses to do so. Finally, the LiveVideo.com
management recognizes that the content reach of the site may be broad and
not appropriate for all age groups; therefore, steps have been taken to
ensure the safety of all its users or visitors. Those under age 14 are
prohibited from joining.
-- LiveVideo.com will also focus on being a leader in the Protection of
User Rights and providing users with platforms and opportunity to
communicate on relevant issues and stay aware of the changing
environment.

| | MySpace Censors LiveVideo | | | Tuesday, February 19, 2008 (3:51 PM)
(I'm feeling aggravated) | | Copy of an e-mail to LiveVideo Admin and Brad Greenspan
I would like to draw it to your attention that MySpace, which for some time now has been tracking links to external websites, is now censoring links of which it does not approve. LiveVideo has now fallen victim to this. Please see the attached screenshot of a MySpace link to www.livevideo.com.
I consider this behaviour to be a violation my personal freedom and human rights, as well as being an anti-competitive practice, and almost certainly illegal in US and International Law.
I would appreciate if you could address this matter on behalf of all LiveVideo users.

Whos idea was it to have a paranoid music channel where they decide what you can put on your playlist.
The Lawyers are still running LiveVideo.

| | Was it worth the wait? | | | Sunday, February 10, 2008 (10:14 AM)
(I'm feeling rejuvenated) | | Well only you can decide
First impressions are that:
1. most guys are a bit confused
2. half the world is not awake yet and hasn't realised what's going on
3. the Live part of LiveVideo really is as truly terrible as we all suspected and will most likely be largely ignored - the thing is - most live TV is boring, even when does by professionals. Most things on TV which apear live and spontaneous are in fact rehearsed, if not actually scripted. Message to anyone doing a blog (whether live or not) plan, script and rehearse, or at least have a rough idea of why you are going on air, or ppl will quickly get bored
4. love the tabbed screens. The main profile is very cluttered, but at least you can see a bit of everything a channel has to offer, then go to the Photos or Blog, etc.
5. I've customized my profile so each tab has a different look and feel - different background pic and colour scheme - just love it
also, this rich text editor is not bad, but very buggy...
6. one or two things seem to have slipped through the net - multiple friend requests to crew members has gone, 'suggest to friends' not working properly
7. great to see the 'bug reporting' at last - wonder how responsive they will be...
