For anyone with mobile video or webcams, for anyone in the moment, on the ground, or on the front lines; for everyone with the need to break news or break it down in real time: BitTorrent Live is now open. Get involved.

BitTorrent Live is a peer-to-peer live streaming protocol. It’s based on the principles of the BitTorrent protocol. And it’s designed to make real-time reporting, and open expression accessible to all. BitTorrent Live eliminates bandwidth, cost, and infrastructure as broadcast barriers.

The first episode of the action series will be about 9 minutes long. I am using the following time blocks.

Action: 8 minutes Sitcoms: 5 Minutes Kidcom: 3 minutes (Think Fred or Hannah Montana Shorts)

I am toying with the idea of shortening the action series to about 5 minutes and leaving each episode on a cliffhanger, with the exception of the end of a story arc.

Each episode will include a Previous episode teaser for the action series.

The sitcom and Kidcom will both be stand alone.

• Broadcast publicly. By checking "Enable Hangouts On Air," you can broadcast your live hangout—from the Google+ stream, your YouTube channel or your website—to the entire world.
• See how many viewers you’ve got. During your broadcast, you can look inside the hangout to see how many people are watching live.
• Record and re-share. Once you're off the air, we’ll upload a public recording to your YouTube channel, and to your original Google+ post. This way it's easy to share and discuss your broadcast after it's over.

I think it'll be very interesting solution that'll be used on many sites soon.
