My View
I feel this is fantastic that we have the techonology to allow us to watch hisotrical events such as this streamedlive on to our computer screens for free. I personally sat down and watched it live through Youtube, it was great coverage and the best feeling was to accutally know I am witnessing History take place LIVE. It is great that Google allowed this event to be streamed Live on their page and it becoming a success. I hope to see more live streaming though Youtube in the future as the consumers experience is fantastic.
