YouTube starts live streaming site

YouTube has started its live streaming service this weekend, available at http://www.youtube.com/live.
The service will allow users to stream live broadcasts, and Google itself is advertising Indian Premier League Cricket and the upcoming Mortal Kombat live stream.

Google says it will keep rolling out the platform to YouTube partners with "accounts in good standing."

"The goal is to provide thousands of partners with the capability to live stream from their channels in the months ahead. In order to ensure a great live stream viewing experience, we'll roll this offering out incrementally over time," concluded YouTube.
