Shhh…new features for you to try…

We’ve got something new for you avid LiveNewsCameras.com users to try out;  its very much a work-in-progress but we think it’s a cool new way to visualize live news.

Here’s the deal - we took many (but not all) of the existing LiveNewsCameras stations, and added in a whole bunch of new ones - dropped the whole thing on a Google Map, and made it clickable.

Unlike the live news grid - there are no thumbnails here - but at the same time - there are MANY new stations added - since we can now link out directly to URLs where live streaming video is happening.

And we’re asking for your help to find more - if you know of a page with live streaming video - drop us a note at streams@livenewscameras.com

(To be clear - we’re looking for website URLs - not ASX files or embedded players)

In other words, if your local station in say, Seattle - has live newscasts streaming on their website- please send use the URL to the live streaming page at the address above!

So - without rambling any longer - we present…

THE LIVE NEWS CAMERAS MAP

Please understand this is an experimental product and still in development - it may act strange in your browser, video may not play properly, your computer may catch fire (ok, not really…) or other strange things may happen - but please, check it out, and enjoy.

Thanks,

The LiveNewsCameras team.

Regarding Live Chat: An Update


Just a quick update; we’ve had quite a bit of feedback from many users lately and are taking it into consideration for the future of the site, so thanks!

 

We did want to ask and remind everyone of the importance of keeping the live chat appropriate for an audience of all ages.  

 

Just as a reminder, the policy regarding chat is simple – all chats are logged, and if we see something inappropriate, we will block access to chat and the user account of the person in question.

 

There is no appeal process and decisions are final, so please think before you write anything you may regret.

 

Please keep the chat civil, friendly, and be tolerant of new users, and help keep the news flowing.
