YouTube has been the place to go for video content, garnering over 2 billion views a day.  Arguably the most popular video streaming site to watch and share originally created videos, the company has launched a new service: Live Streaming.  As a beta version, content is limited, but YouTube plans to slowly allow its partners to stream live content on the site.  That means not everyone will be able to stream live through YouTube, but the limiting factor will mean more refined live broadcasts than the ones offered in other live-streaming sites where you’ll often find people talking random giberish.

Journey through the site yourself at http://www.youtube.com/live.
