I have written before about how major media organizations are using live streaming to broadcast events.
Today have proven what we are going to be seeing for decades to come.
We have witness probably for the first time ever the bringing in of the new year from major cities around the world.
Previously, we would have seen reports of cities from around the world bringing in the new year after the event has occurred.
For us here in the United States, it brings a long yearning to see the celebrations of the new year especially from the new year’s eve celebrations in New York City on major television networks.
Many major networks brought us the live streaming from their location like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
However, I have to give a lot of credit to The Telegraph, a british daily newspaper, who somehow managed to live stream the New Year’s Eve celebrations from around the world.
The good thing about this was there was not any commentary at all and no commercials.
We only saw from the party goer’s point of view the anticipation of the New Year.
For those of us who watch the New York City’s celebrations on a regular basis, we actually saw in real time from the participants point of view.
The live streaming of the New Year’s Eve celebration was broadcast from the YouTube account of The Telegraph.
Facebook Live is my favorite platform to live stream events because it is for my own community.
However, they are only allowed to live stream for up to four hours unless they have recently made changes.
I will admit YouTube are the kings of live streaming because their platform is video based from the beginning.
Plus, you can live stream you event as long as you want without any limitations.
I can say this year will be very epic and hope everyone will take stake in what we are about to see in the continuous evolution of social media.
