Mogulus and Ustream are two of the most interesting web based live video streaming services available to budding live web broadcasters. 

Together with other similar (but not quite as accessible) tools such as Stickam, Operator11, Kyte.tv, they offer infinite bandwidth and storage space to broadcast your live video stream over the Internet with no audience limits.

Almost everyone interested in live video streaming has asked me at one point or another whether Mogulus is better than Ustream and what I would recommend using.

While the others also have very interesting features and capabilities, my preference so far has gone to Ustream and Mogulus for a number of different reasons:

• They have a more professional and credible marketing strategy.
• They have specific feature sets.
• Both companies have made themselves open to conversations and exchanges.
• They have provided direct support.
• They have done their best to engage in a sincere two-way conversation while trying to further improve their product.

It is possible that some of the competing services I am not focusing on here, have made significant improvements and changes to their services, and that they have surpassed the two services I have selected for comparison, in some specific respect.

Here is my personal review of how Ustream.tv and Mogulus.com stand against each other on all of the critical functionalities, features, and management aspects of their free live video broadcasting services.

Choosing which one is most appropriate between the two for your own use is really a matter of cases; it all depends on what you want to do.

While Ustream is a perfect match for those seeking simplicity and immediacy as they focus mostly on purely live events, Mogulus’ ideal users may include web TV channel providers wanting to focus on creating “compilation-based” thematic channels.

Or those people who have a deep interest in using multiple cameras and for having live video guests on-air while providing a more pro-tv-like viewer experience.

Today I am officially launching the new RGTV News, a non commercial alternative to the mainstream video news channels.

We are going to be covering international news that doesn’t get coverage on your typical television channels.

“Alternative world video news you won’t likely see on your mainstream network TV channels.“

I am acting as a television news editor, capturing and selecting those very news stories and issues that are rarely picked up by mainstream media and which as a consequence are never seen or talked about by normal TV viewers. 

These days, the technology is there for anyone and everyone to run their own live video channel. Using a variety of services and websites, it’s possible to be your own broadcaster.

Just over a month ago I, Robin Good, decided to test a new grassroots live video format by utilizing the zero footprint and zero cost technologies available to anyone wanting to start a live video news channel.

The idea was one of leveraging the latest live video streaming technology to create an experimental grassroots independent news channel that would broadcast news from all of the major cities around the world. 

I made a call to volunteer newscasters and then went about putting it into practice.

Aggregating video clips from sites like YouTube and MetaCafe to create “TV Channels” seems to be all the rage this year. Following in the footsteps of WorldTV, Feedbeat, CozmoTV and SplashCast enters Chime TV, the latest video-clip-to-TV-Station aggregator.

While WorldTV appears to be rocking ahead from a usability standpoint for channel creators, Chime TV has excelled with its fluid viewing experience and central aggregation of its channels.

It has the Electronic Program Guide aesthetics that you get from Joost and BabelGum while remaining in your browser. It even has the folks over at VideoSift getting envious.

The first stage of the broadband video revolution was driven by user uploaded content mainly consisting of short clips. Now people are able to take things further by actually being able to produce their own online TV destination by creating live channels and scheduled programming through a variety of online tools .

Create Your Own Web TV Station – Mini Guide

This mini-guide compares the currently available tools and services according to whether they incorporate the following features:

Here is a new unique monetization model for your website which results in a win-win situation. It involves syndicating the latest news to your website in the form of video and other media and getting paid for it!

You are able to select news feeds from certain relevant categories and have these video news releases synidicated to your site and get paid for showing them on a CPM basis!

This is a great form of advertising that can really add value to your visitors.

When you see Joost, a company with millions of dollars behind it, create an internet TV platform that, while looks pretty, is non-intuitive and requires you to install software, you wonder if anyone can make an easy to use and simple web television platform.

Well someone can and his name is Mirco Pasqualini, a talented Italian who has created the StreamCast Player which, in my eyes, is the best internet TV platform I have yet to come across from the point of view of the end-user.
