Since the launch of Yahoo! Live one month ago, my life has been filled with a wide range of emotions. One of our users, known as “Digga” Dame Lee, has been a tremendously positive force in my and many others’ lives since he started broadcasting him and his family’s lives for the World to see. If you haven’t seen his channel which is consistently in the top 5 most popular of the site, visit Digga here.
Dame Lee II, the son of Dame and LaTamra Lee has made several appearences in Digga’s many live performances. Early in the morning on February 26, cries were heard out on the still-rolling Y!Live broadcast from a quite amazing show the night before. When I heard the wails were the result of 3 month old Dame Jr.’s death, my heart dropped.
Digga is pictured the night before the tragedy holding Dame Jr.
When Digga returned on camera, his 300+ viewers slowly started realizing what happened. The baby had died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), which is an unexplainable cause of death in infants under the age of 1. After visiting Digga’s house to pay our condolences and offer any support we could, the Y!Live team was forever changed from this untimely loss.
For those who would like to help, a PayPal donation account has been set up in remembrance of Dame Jr.
Our hearts go out to the Lee family.
Sincerely,
The Yahoo! Live team
Just finished a great recording session with the Trackrunners - we spent about 3 hours with them live, giving them ideas and feedback as they composed a new track. The Y! Live audience chose the topic (pickup lines, heh), and the Trackrunners put down the beats, melodies, rhymes right there as we watched. The result is a brand new mp3, available for you all to download - just head over to myspace.com/thetrackrunners and download the opening track, “What I Gotta Say.” Nice job Trackrunners, hope to see you guys on again soon.
For the fortunate few who caught Rob Glaser’s brief Y! Live stream from an Obama rally in Seattle, you know what a cool moment it was. We made a last minute decision to hop over to Dallas to catch one of Obama’s final rallies of this primary season, and will be streaming the event citizen-broadcast-style in its entirety for you all at the Y! Live Obama08 channel. Provided we make it through tightened security with enough computer parts to put together a broadcast, we’ll be live - hope to see you there.
Come to the Trackrunners channel on Sunday, March 2 at 7pm PT / 10pm ET - they will be in-studio, and ready to lay down a track, together with you. The Trackrunners and Inhouse Records came to us with this brilliant concept for a collaborative, social recording session:
We think this will be a lot of fun, as well as a chance to experience truly collaborative, social music creation. Come join the good times! Join the Y! Live twitter feed to receive alerts for this and other live events.
Amazing broadcast today from the Hyper Island art school in Stockholm. They streamed a live interactive mural painting session, where they took feedback and requests from viewers on Y! Live and created the mural in real-time with the audience. They also took off one piece of clothing every time the viewer count passed a new milestone. Thankfully, we only got down to no t-shirts.
Starting at midnight, for the next 24 hours, random people and celebrities alike will get married, in Vegas, in front of a worldwide audience on the interweb. Yahoo and Dr. Pepper are inviting anyone to come to the Hard Rock Hotel this Valentine’s Day to get married or renew their vows in proper Vegas style. The event will be streamed at the Yahoo! Valentine’s in Vegas website, and a special social broadcast on Y! Live will be run in parallel. So come on in and join the party, it runs all throughout the day!
