Ustream.tv added to Multimedia Broadcasting & Conferencing

Hi all.

Just a quick update to let you know that I've added Ustream.tv to the Multimedia Broadcasting & Conferencing page.

Ustream is a free website that lets you broadcast a live video stream of your webcam, or any piece of software that's running on your computer coupled with audio from a mic that you may have plugged in. Viewers can then watch the video stream on a normal web page and are even given a chat room to ask you questions in.

It's brilliant!

I'm going to be using it for lots of different things in my day job, such as streaming training sessions for people who can't physically be in the same room as me, technical support and a live office webcam... actually the office cam is already up and running, you can view it here:
