Live Earth breaks Internet-streaming record – 9 million streams
By
The Live Earth global pop concerts Saturday broke a record for an online entertainment show by generating more than 9 million Internet streams, Microsoft Corp. Web portal MSN said.
An Internet stream is when a person watches on a computer. People can stream an event more than once by switching it on and off so 9 million streams does not necessarily mean 9 million people watching, MSN said. Live 8 was the first major multi-venue event successfully streamed live with Time Warner Inc.’s AOL portal on the Web. AOL said 5 million people had logged on to the event on the day of those shows, but it did not say how many Internet streams of the event there had been.
