LiveVideo was a social network launched in 2006 backed by MySpace founder, Brad Greenspan.[1][2] It offered one of the first user generated video hosting platforms integrated with social media features described as a mashup of MySpace and YouTube, and later an interactive live video streaming platform.[3]

History[edit]

LiveVideo was founded in 2006 but launched officially in 2008, with an interactive interview with Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns, called Drive Home with Steve Nash.[4][5]

LiveVideo.com struggled to take advantage of its early leadership in the live video sector as a result of a lack of financial resources an issue accelerating in 2008 after Brad Greenspan, the CEO acquired Revver.com a money losing video hosting website located in Los Angeles.[6]

In 2013, the original LiveVideo.com website was closed.[citation needed]

Reception[edit]
