Live Blogging With Mogulus

Like Ustream.tv, Mogulus is a new live blogging service that will soon offer some features Ustream does not. If you’re not familiar with the term, "live blogging" is the new slang for live video broadcasting and it’s all the rage with the tech crowd. Popularized by the addictive Justin.tv, a 24/7 video stream of a San Francisco guy named Justin, live blogging has really started to take off. Ustream was one of the first on the block to make live streaming easy for everyone and now Mogulus kicks it up a notch. With Mogulus, you and your friends can search together, mix together and broadcast together from your webcams. You can make your own channel, sourcing videos from your PC or from video sharing websites like YouTube. Mogulus also offers ways to add custom graphics to your channel, including a ticker, full screen sting, coming soon, straps, and over the shoulder bug - just like you’d see on a major network broadcast. Best of all, Mogulus aims to be easy enough for everyone to use - you don’t need to be an experienced editor or vidoegrapher to understand how to use it: if you can blog, you can live blog. Mogulus is currently in beta, but you can apply for the beta on their site now.
