If you are a sports fan or you want to become a sports commenter how about starting on YouCastr. This is a new service similar to Ustream, but very well targeted to sports only, where anyone can stream live broadcasts of game commentary or cut random rants in archived podcasts.
The system is great and knowing that blogging on sports is a big niche I think these guys started on the right foot. Many of these bloggers will probably turn to YouCastr for their podcasts and this is what will make the traffic skyrocket. It’s well know that sports are always easier from the bench or in front of the TV, so I want to see how the members are going to perform.
I am signing up now and will probably use it for CarBlog.co.za. If you are already a member, how about giving some feedback?
