It looks like justin.tv is paving the way for the next stage in reality tv - it's even got a catchy name now: Lifecasting:
Valleywag says that Natalie Portman is working on a “lifecast” of her personal and working life, a la Justin.tv’s 24-hour streaming EdTV experiment. Said news, apparently, was leaked via a Twitter message by someone whose firm had been approached to fund her new venture (allegedly Silicon Valley VC oufit Charles River Ventures). This wouldn’t be the only time that Silicon Valley has met Silicone Valley, of course, but it still seems a little far-fetched to me -- but then, so did Justin.tv.
Ingram is right to be skeptical of anything coming out of ValleyWag, but even if this story is a bust, I suspect the trend itself will start rolling.
