"Streaming" is the process of projecting one's own live media signal throughout the internet via server module(s).
For
years, we've been slave to others' ability to broadcast their own
choice of programming, and to arbitrate the quality of material
broadcasted.
You
just watched other people's programming and that's all she wrote,
unless you go to college for broadcasting/Mass communications, etc., got
a job interning at a TV or radio station, attained clout, and finally
pitched a winning show for their board to agree to, and then revise to
death, before airing.
No More.
Online streaming makes it possible for 'regular Joes' like you and me to be
able to run our own web-tv, and/or radio station, as easy as being able
to build one's own media cloud.
Like "Hard Harry" in the movie "Pump Up The Volume", who had a pirate radio station and encouraged others to "take the airwaves", we now have achieved the same
ability to stream LIVE, and are also sharing what and how we learned.
Check out this moving 'rant' from Hard Harry in "Pump Up The Volume"
The following is a video playlist from the likes of Ustream, Make.tv,
Chris Pirillo at Lockergnome.com, and more, geared to help grasp the
concept and cover the curve needed to be a good "streamer".
