The idea was &#x27;live video over the web&#x27;. The people that made huge amounts of money of it went with niches that I did not care for: 1 to 1 (&#x27;videophone&#x27;), gaming, porn.<p>I have to date not been able to find a way to make the niche that I picked (one-to-many everybody is a broadcaster, think &#x27;youtube&#x27;, but live) into a mass market product (possibly because there is no mass market). Still, the idea lives on and periodically companies try to revive it in some way or other and some of those then find other successful niches.
