This is the first time I’ve seen Yahoo’s Live video streaming service demonstrated. Here’s a separate video of the first part of the presentation, which demonstrates a mini bar. They showed it off at the Adobe Engage event yesterday. Very cool, I ask why they haven’t done a cell phone streaming service, like Qik.com, and they say they want to be a platform. They also say that Flickr video is still being worked on by the Flickr team and will come separate from this effort. Nice API that’s used in a neat mapping mashup.
