Stickam.com is the first and largest interactive live streaming video site and provides a tool for indie artists who want the potential to reach stadium-sized crowds right from their living rooms, studios, rehearsal spaces, local clubs, or pretty much anywhere else. It’s easy to broadcast live to the entire world. All a band needs is a Webcam (or miniDV cam with Firewire connections) and access to the Internet. Artists like Underoath, Street Drum Corps, I Am Ghost, The Mae Shi, Everclear and many others have used Stickam to stream live shows, broadcast live recording sessions from their studios, hold online listening parties, and more, all while fans simultaneously chat with the band or themselves.
In addition to streaming live on Stickam.com, bands can embed their Stickam player onto their on Web sites, social networking sites and blogs, among other online locations. The player also has a built-in chat room and allows recorded sessions to be played back at a later time. As current trends go, this is possibly the next step in fan interactive technology.
