My Introduction to USTREAM

Well, my introduction to streaming on USTREAM has come with mixed emotions.

Firstly, I must give a HUGE thank you to all you wonderful crafters out there who stayed with me during the last couple of days of streaming. I really don't know what happened - USTREAM kept cutting in and out and I eventually stopped the recording to see if that would help but it decided to keep switching the recordings back on so I ended up with pages and pages of recorded streams. Most of which were shorter than the advertisements that appeared before the videos LOL.
The first day went well - recorded fine - didn't have many viewers. The second and third days were disastrous - had 9 and 15 viewers on these days and USTREAM played up big time. But the crafters who joined me were awesome and persisted along with me, so a BIG thank you girls :)

I have decided to keep struggling through and trying to work it out though, as I've been having so much fun with everyone joining me. We've learned a lot from each other, tried and tested a few different techniques and had a blast!!!

But I decided to finish one of the pages off-camera and uploaded it to YouTube tonight so if you were one of those wonderful participants in today's stream who would like to check out the completed page, click here.

Now off to watch some YouTube and USTREAM videos and nod off in the land of zzzzzzzzzzzz.

    Hi Betty! My streams are not really about classes as much as they are about learning from each other. So in a sense I guess they are classes for me and you LOL. I'll usually stream around 11am or 12noon Eastern Daylight Savings Time in Australia.

    That's ok Tara - you've supported my foray into YouTube the whole way and I appreciate it :). That's why I posted a YouTube video on the finishing of the page (as well as USTREAM giving us grief) LOL.

    I would love to join in on Ustream with you if I can. Some of the U.S. Youtubers look like they have fab classes and fun times together but the timing is all wrong for us here in Aust.
