Internet Voyeurism: Alive, well, and remarkably inane

Justin.tv, created by Justin Kan and Emmitt Shear started streaming over the web last week. The commercial venture has turned Justin Kan into a sort of Cyborg Piccard, attaching a video camera to his head which transmits video via a laptop in a backpack he wears. Insofar as the commercial aspects of the endeavor, the duo is funded by incubator Y Combinator and currently has two sponsors: Bawls Energy Drink and Zipcar.

About a month before launch an interviewer asked “What makes your life so interesting that people will want to watch?”

Justin’s answer:
“I’m going to go to a lot of cool parties and talk to interesting people,” he said.
