Today, Facebook launched their newest product, Facebook Places, on their Facebook Live channel.

Places helps users share where they are, where their friends are, and to discover new places around them. With features like notifications when friends are near and integration with partners such as Gowalla, Foursquare, Yelp and Booyah, the product provides a whole new layer to the experience of sharing places.

The Facebook Live channel, with Livestream as its official live streaming partner, serves as the central online space to hear Facebook announcements, watch press events, take part in live chats with Facebook engineers & special guests and to watch the annual f8 developer conference. It also incorporates Facebook’s real-time Live Feed technology to facilitate interactions between the viewing audience and the speaker.

Livestream CEO Max Haot had this to say regarding the launch of Facebook Live:

“We are proud to be the official live streaming partner for Facebook Live and to help Facebook extend its events at Facebook HQ to the broader online community.”

[reblogged from the original on Mashable.com on August 13]

by Adam Ostrow

Facebook, which is already widely used as a platform for distributing live video, is making a play of its own with a new app called Facebook Live.

However, unlike services like Ustream and Livestream that offer live video features for Facebook Pages, Facebook Live is more of a channel dedicated to the happenings of the social networking company as opposed to a platform for others.

In a statement, the company says it will be using Facebook Live “to be your window into what’s new at Facebook” including celebrity guests that stop by the company’s HQ, demos of new features from employees and special events taking place (conceivably, things like the f8 conference).

The app itself looks a lot like other live video platforms, with integrated chat that broadcasts out to the News Feed. It’s also embeddable, and the company will be testing it out when actress America Ferrera stops by at 6 p.m. ET this evening.

It will be interesting to see how Facebook goes about promoting the feature. Might we see notifications in the News Feed when a big guest stops by the company’s HQ? That would give the site an opportunity to aggregate some huge audiences around live video, though it remains to be seen if that’s in the cards or if this is more of a PR move to make the company feel more personable.

Either way, it’s a nice boon for Livestream, which has been chosen as the official live video partner for the project.

SPIN House Live with Free Energy

Philly rockers Free Energy will be dropping by the SPIN Manhattan headquarters on Thursday, August 12 to play a rooftop set for the latest edition of the SPIN House Live Series – presented by Amstel Light – and you can watch it live on Livestream!

Their first full-length studio album, Stuck On Nothing, was released on May 4 to critical acclaim. Tune in to watch Free Energy rock out on SPIN’s rooftop live at http://livestream.com/spinhouselive.

Turner Sports Live PGA Coverage

Chat Live with Michael Franti

Michael is back for another chat! Join him this Thursday as he answers your questions live!

The live broadcast of two Mexican soccer events last week drew thousands of viewers to Livestream. The first, the inauguration of the new Omnilife Stadium for the Chivas club, included pre-game festivities and celebrations of the brand new arena. The second, an entire match in which Rayados del Monterrey battled Estudiantes Tecos, garnered 47,000 concurrent viewers and over 150,000 unique visitors.

Oddly enough, not many Mexican broadcast television networks were carrying the events, so the clubs decided to broadcast the events online directly to the fans. It’s an interesting example of how sports clubs can use live streaming as leverage against the broadcasters who control what match/event they choose to broadcast to their fans.

In addition, the Rayados game story made the front page of a leading Mexican newspaper which included photos of fans watching the game on their laptop in this ‘historic first of a game being available live online’. They also mentioned that bars were unusually empty as fans could watch it at home on their laptop for free.

To watch the stream, click the players below, or visit the Chivas or Rayados pages to learn more.
