Live Earth Shatters Online Video Streaming Record: Over 10 Million Video Streams (and still counting)
According to a press statement issued earlier today, "As of 3:00 pm EDT on Saturday, MSN had a total of more than 10 million video streams and had the most simultaneous viewers of any online concert ever."
As I stated yesterday, "If there was ever any doubt about how disruptive Internet TV could be, 7/7/07 is the date that will be remembered as the date that such doubt was gone."
And special thanks to Enviornment News Service for the photo credit for my photo of Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio on the stage at Live Earth. (guess they found the photo on flickr)

The strange thing is they never released that actual number of simultaneous streams. The previous record was apparently 175,000 at Live 8, I'm still waiting to hear from MSN exactly what the number was.
