[edit] Deletion
I am tired of having to delete this article. Please show that the subject is notable so that the article does not qualify for a speedy deletion. Please see WP:WEB for information on how to do this. Additionally, you will need to work on the article either on this page or in userspace before I will again remove protection. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 13:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

This site is gaining a lot of attention, and brings up significant privacy and ethical issues. I was really surprised to see wikipedia has no article for this.
[edit] Re: Deletion
I don't understand why this article continues to be deleted IMO it was a legitimate article about a legitimate website, this article shouldnt be treated any differently from other articles like Fatwallet, DSLReports, Slashdot, DemocraticUnderground. Digg, Freerepublic, Shoutcast, Suprnova and many other sites featured on wikipedia.
[edit] Deletion?
This site has been featured in all sorts of mainstream media - AP wire, new york times (I believe). It has been the buzz of the podcasting and tech community for a while now. It has been discussed in length on TwiT, etc etc etc. How much more legitimacy is needed here? Why is there no page?
[edit] Re: Deletion
Here is an AP/Washington Post article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/27/AR2007032701220.html
I see no reason why you continue to block this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WikiGlory (talk • contribs) 23:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Re: Deletion
You know what's funny? I think Chris Griswold has something against the guys at Justin.tv. He's marked their other company, Kiko, for deletion too.
The completely bullshit thing about all of this, is that the damned Rules of Aquisition from Star Trek are on wikipedia and not considered TRIVIAL, yet Justin.tv, the first Web cam to go mobile is considered too trivial despite getting major press since before the site launched. This is another reason why wikipedia shouldn't allow nazi admins like Chris Griswold to run completely unchecked on the site.
When was the last time the Associated Press covered Rules of Aquisition?
How are the rules of Aquisition more trivial than this? They're both equally important.
- Write an article that explains that the subject is notable or stop whining. Three times the article was deleted because it could have been anything. I provided a link to information on how to do this. If anyone wants to work on this article and wants my help, I will be happy to provide it. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 02:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
This guy was on numerous national (USA) broadcasts within the past week. G4TV's Attack of the Show and NBC's (Major network.. hello?) The Today Show.
[edit] Suggested page content
Justin.tv is a website created by the ex-founders of the calendaring website Kiko.com. Using a mobile webcam attached to the head of Justin Kan, one of the founders, the website streams continuous live video and audio of what he is seeing and hearing. The site went live at midnight on March 19th 2007 and it is stated on the site that Justin will wear the camera "24 hours a day, 7 days a week."[1] There have been previous experiments with 24/7 live streaming via the internet, DotComGuy and JenniCam for example, but Justin.tv is notable because Justin is completely mobile. Using 4 wireless EV-DO networking cards and a laptop in a backpack[2] the video is streamed from wherever Justin is currently located. The site has been compared to "Edtv" or "The Truman Show."[3]
[edit] References
- At last, a decent start that won't be deleted within 5 seconds. As soon as the media does something on this, there'll be an article for sure. Thanks, Zadernet 06:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think the media already has. The references below show a Washington Post article as well as a Techcrunch posting, and here is a San Francisco Chronicle article And65 12:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
