Justin.tv opens its lifecasting platform to anyone with a webcam

Justin.tv
First there was Justin. For the past few months, you've been able to watch life through the eyes (or camera) of a guy named Justin who has been broadcasting his life on the internet 24 hours a day. Then there was Justine, a conveniently named blogger who stepped to wear the dorky hat.

You'll need to be 13 or older to participate, and obviously you'll need a webcam, computer, and internet connection. The Justin.tv front page makes flipping from channel to channel a breeze.

But honestly, there's something kind of compelling about flipping from one lifecast to the next. It's kind of like flipping TV channels hoping that you'll land on something interesting, even though you know there's nothing good on.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
