Talking about Justin TV without saying anything that could appear naughty is difficult, as the website is used in a bit of a suspect way to be quite frank with you. However since when has being suspect been a bad thing?

The website is a network of individual people using it in different ways, ranging from those showing their own life in a some what vblog type manner (that's Vide Web Log to us mere mortals) to those blatantly exploiting the internet and spitting in the face of Copyright lsws to those praying on those foolish enough to earn them money via blogspot and those trying to nerdily impress others with their gaming antics. If you like to compare it with another website, think of youtube perhaps...but live.

I'm not actually a member that has things on show on their (mainly because I don't know how and secondly I hardly have anything worth showing anyway) so I can only comment from the viewer's perspective.

At the moment we get a breakdown of 13 live wrestling channels that are showing various things, from Raw repeats, Breaking Point repeats old WCW shows and shoot interviews.

Of course the site has got its much more commendable purposes, it looks like there's a few educational channels on that look to be set up in a class room.

Also there appears to people showing off their pets with a webcam, quite what the purpose of this is I have no idea, though a clever idea would be possibly keeping an eye on your own home with a security camera style set up perhaps?

Of course life casting is going to be the big thing over the next few years, allowing the public to see you living your everyday life, in a sort of demented Big Brother in reverse, where the contestants really are living a normal life and you are becoming fans of them, often on the basis that their life is either a bit of a soap opera or the fact they said they might get naked on webcam (oh how easy we males are pleased). The concept of life casting is simple and people have been doing online blogs for years,
