Justin Kan, Emmett Seibel, Michael Seibel, and Kyle Vogt founded Justin.tv in 2007. This 24-7 live video stream from Kan's life was broadcast via an internet camera attached to his head. Kan was only 23 at the time. Kan's "lifecastingwas in operation for eight months. Kan's idea was the subject of media attention and subsequent interviews with him included one that was conducted by Ann Curry on the Today Show. Viewers accompanied Kan as he walked the streets of San Francisco, sometimes involved in both pre-planned events (trapeze lesson, dance lesson) and spontaneous situations (being invited into the local Scientology center by a sidewalk recruiter).Afterward, the company transitioned to providing a live video platform so anyone could publish a live video stream. Justin.tv is the platform that launched in and was one of the largest live video platforms around the globe that had over 30 million unique users every month.ustin.tv was shut down on the 5, 2014, to make way for focusing further on Justin.tv's parent company, Twitch.
