iJustine escapes Justin.tv and rejoins USTREAM!


The invisible battle between justin.tv and ustream.tv goes unnoticed to many. But, behind the lifecasters and the internet shows there is most definitely a full fledged war taking place.

A few months back the special ops from Justin.tv snuck into enemy lines and one by one abducted their best streamers. iJustine was one of these. They slipped into her bedroom, chloroformed her, took her to their headquarters, and proceeded to promise her fame and fortune. As any up and coming celebrity would, she agreed to the publicity.

Sadly, this meant she had to leave ustream.tv. Her home, her country, her blood.

Things went well for her, she gained fans and attained the status of internet celebrity. Most well known for her 300 page iPhone bill and her fetish for good ol’ Steve Jobs.

The tides have changed recently though. As justin.tv’s servers get worse ustream’s get better. While justin.tv has random viewers ustream is made up of a tight community. ustream is emerging as the leader in live streaming video.

As the first of many, iJustine escaped justin.tv’s greedy clutch and landed back in the friendly borders of ustream.tv. Today, November 12th, marks the day that iJustine came home. We welcome her with better features and greater scalability.

=)

Update: The switch isn’t official so…shh. This also means she’s probably not on at the moment. But she’s going to use ustream.tv on her new site iJustine.tv. Her channel on ustream.tv is ustream.tv/channel/treats incase you just want to double check.

Update#2: I actually have no idea what I’m talking about and she may very well not be leaving Justin.tv

[…] Rumor is spreading that Justine Ezarik, the blonde videoblogger better known as iJustine, is leaving Justin.tv. Ezarik, who holds the dubious distinction of being the most popular lifecaster of the moment, is currently denying that she’s leaving the self-broadcasting service where she made her name. Ustream.tv, where Justine first started videoblogging before she made it big on Justin.tv, has regained the affections of the vlog hottie, or so the story goes. As is often the case when two are competing for the attention of one woman, neither suitor ever really wins. […]
