  • Twitch TV, Social Media and Stickiness

    Currently, I am working on a social media type of project and one of the things we constantly are discussing is the “stickiness” aspects of the way the application should work. For those who do not understand the concept of “stickiness,” it’s simply the idea of how users of an application consistently return and use…

  • Google: Don’t Be Evil, But We Do Harm? (The End of YouTube?)

    One of the so-called core philosophies in the way Google operates is their motto “Don’t be evil.” It was an idea adopted early on in the company’s lifespan. On top of that many of their product decisions was engendered through their “10 things” principles. As the company has grown to the mega-power over the years,…

  • Combining Livestreaming/Twitch and Social Media

    I’ve written several articles on the high level ideas of becoming a Twitch broadcaster and getting into the world of livestreaming for gaming. One thing that I’ve noticed though is that there’s quite a few people who livestream but don’t really understand many of the social media tools out there. They might use systems like…

  • World of Warcraft: Where Blizzard Gets it Right

    I’ve been hearing about the restrictions surrounding Final Fantasy 14 and someone I learned how someone I’ve occasionally played World of Warcraft with ended up getting banned for streaming the game to a private set of users. Apparently, even a private stream broke the NDA. But today I heard that the game has further streaming…

  • World of Warcraft: How to Nurture Your Flex Raiding as A Streamer

    While it’s like that most people employing Flex Raiding will end up being guilds who face some issues with normal mode raids as well as ambitious pugs, Flex Raiding for streamers over on Twitch will become a big boon for their streams in growing their audience as I pointed out in a previous article.

  • Game Streamers and My Pet Peeves

    Normally, I try to say positive things about streamers I enjoy following. However, I was one particular person (who I won’t name here) and some of his actions really made me disgusted. The issue was over giveaways and the idea of being disqualified for giveaways for those who leave the chat for whatever reason. I…

  • Social Video Technology: Youtube vs Younow vs Twitch/Justin.TV vs Keek

    I decided to do a small round up of various popular video services and navigate the different aspects between them that I’ve seen and where they each fit in within the ecosystem of the online video world.

  • Game Live Streaming: Why You Should or Should Not Do It

    I’m slightly involved in the game streaming community, acting as a very casual moderator for two channels.
