YouTube Live Broadcast

Video sharing website Youtube plans to showcase the talents “behind its screen” through webcasting, with a live show,”Youtube Live”, due to go out on 22 November in San Francisco.

The value of Youtube lies in the fact that is a platform driven by the community, says spokesman Chris Di Cesare, adding that the show will include performers popular with the site’s users. Well-known stars like rapper Will.i.Am and singer Katy Perry will feature, along with Youtube sensations like 20-year-old Esmee Denters, who posted video of herself covering popular songs and became a star on the web.

Since its origination in 2005, YouTube has been associated with all kinds of internet videos, varying from snippets of TV shows and off-beat demonstrations of skills such as stacking to serious campaign ads in the recent US presidential election
