If I were seeking a mate on a livecasting site like stickam.com only to find out she lived next door I would drop my cam and go knocking. If I were live mobile streaming from my ride someone might want to check for crowded freeway conditions. And if I wanted check out a potential vacation locale I could log on to their scenic or weather cam. But honestly, what other significant reasons are there to know our webcam buddies exact whereabout?
All criticisms aside, it’s a reality now with a new site called Seero. And yes, there is an excellent application of this: event-based video. Imagine if you wanted to see exactly where the America’s Cup finalist is in relation to the mark, or how far out on the lava fields the women’s leader in the Hawaii Ironman World Championship is. And you could drill down on your favorite lifecaster as they rock to that sold out rock concert.
Now all we have to do is get the major broadcasters and corporate event sponsors to allow non-licensed parties to broadcast and record their events.

Seero is a cool site but there are just so few non-porn live broadcasters. I think there’s a missing hardware product to really make this space go. Maybe an iPhone with GPS that could stream a live video of some interesting event. But most likely the video quality would be poor and shaky. There’s a ton of semi-live content today in outdoor webcams. livelook.com has a good geolocated directory of outdoor live cams.
