"It\u2019s a big weekend for golf fans: the last major of the year, the PGA Championship.  For those of us stuck at work today and tomorrow, the PGA has launched a fantastic live video stream, complete with Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace integration.  \nSimilar to the live video streaming + chat offered by UStream, Justin.tv, and TinyChat (which Mashable uses), PGA.com\u2019s implementation lets users login with their social network credentials (using Facebook Connect, Sign In With Twitter, or MySpace ID) and then publish their chat.  You can toggle to view updates from everyone who\u2019s logged into the video player, or just your friends.\nIn turn, the PGA\u2019s player gets a lot more traffic as other golf fans see the link show up in their streams.  The chat feature is powered by Gigya.  \n\n\n\nThe video stream itself offers a few different options: a simulcast of TNT\u2019s coverage, the \u201Cmarquee group\u201D (Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington, and Rich Beem), and a camera that covers only the Par 3s.  There\u2019s also an iPhone application available [iTunes link] for $1.99 with live video (which will work best with a WiFi connection) and updates.  \nIn all, a great tech effort by the PGA that\u2019s sure to keep golf fans productivity around nil for the rest of the week.    \nSee Also: iPhone TV: Top iPhone Apps for Live Streaming Television"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
