Techmeme is all
abuzz with news of the Yahoo Live
launch. I’m thinking Yahoo’s doing online video? Again? But weren’t they closing

the post:
Broadcast the concert you’re at. Webcast your own live DJ set. Lifecast.
Build your own live video speed dating application. We’ve created a website and
an API that lets you do all these things and many more.
