Social:LiveVideo (social network)
LiveVideo was a social network launched in 2006 backed by MySpace founder, Brad Greenspan.[1][2] It offered one of the first user generated video hosting platforms integrated with social media features described as a mashup of MySpace and YouTube, and later an interactive live video streaming platform.[3]
History
LiveVideo was founded in 2006 but launched officially in 2008, with an interactive interview with Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns, called Drive Home with Steve Nash.[4][5]
LiveVideo.com struggled to take advantage of its early leadership in the live video sector as a result of a lack of financial resources an issue accelerating in 2008 after Brad Greenspan, the CEO acquired Revver.com a money losing video hosting website located in Los Angeles.[6]
In 2013, the original LiveVideo.com website was closed.
As of September 22, 2022, the LiveVideo.com domain forwards to a Coming Soon 2022 page with a LiveVideo.com logo.
Reception
LiveVideo received media coverage with its official launch in 2008[7][8] and after partnering with William Shatner to star in video series ShatnerVision. Later LiveVideo created a controversy by successfully recruiting Smosh “YouTube’s biggest stars” in 2007 to create videos.[1]
