Miss iJustine truly
is the internet after today. She is out in Ontario, CA at the Podcast and New Media Expo for 3 days and so far Justine has been very busy. She started the day bringing her Justin.tv broadcast back online after a little downtime. Once at the Expo she hooked up with
Talkshoe and started joining in with that. Justine then jumped in on a Ustream broadcast with
Mason who is a ustreamer. So at one point she was interacting and even taking a call or 2 on talkshoe. Broadcasting on Justin.tv as always and also broadcasting on Ustream. 3 streams, 3 sites, 1 iJustine. Just mind boggling.

No the Steve she is talking about is not me. Justine got many requests in chat to do a Chris Crocker spoof and she delivered today. In the video you can see she is very passionate about Steve Jobs and threatens anyone who messes with him! I know I’m scared after watching it. So for your viewing pleasure here is Justine’s latest video. Come on guys just leave him alone. It’s not his fault almost a million people got screwed out of 200 dollars.

Very recently there have been many problems plaguing Justin.tv and the new channels. Some of these issues are regarding privacy and personal information. While some have to do with chat moderation and running a channel. Most of these problems could have been avoided if Justin.tv had some type of tips list or a Guide to Lifecasting. Justin had spoken in the past about writing a guide but I’m thinking he will never finish it. New lifecasters need to be warned and prepared before they turn the camera on.
Why am I writing this post?
Well if you have spent some time on Justin.tv in the past few days you might have noticed or heard that 3 of the newer channels had their personal information leaked and posted in chat. When I say personal information I mean their full name, address and phone numbers. When this type of information is posted it leads to people doing some not so nice things. 2 of the channels to have their information posted were Bob and Ashley. The 3rd to have their information posted was Amber. If you are not familiar with Amber she is only 16 years old and is living at home with the parents. She received numerous phone calls from people and also had pizza delivered to her house. Yesterday she posted in her chat that she quit and will no longer lifecast.
How could this have been happened?
Well it is easy for me to see how Bob and Ashley’s info were found. They own domains and the whois listing is available to the public. Amber on the other hand does not own a domain. Some have said that they must have gotten the information from her paypal account. This is a possibility but very unlikely. As far as I can see when you donate to someone you only get access to the persons full name and their email address. There are many ways to get a persons information though. White pages, publicly posting it somewhere and of course you always have those pay sites that get the information.
I’ll be making a page dedicated to tips and information for new lifecasters. It seems it is needed since the problems will rise as they add more channels.
