Justin.tv, an online live video destination, claims it’s among the top five online video sites. For this, it quotes a web traffic measurement service Quantcast. It says it attracts 41.4 million monthly unique visitors.
“Justin.tv is enabling people to create real-time connections with others around the world through live video on a massive scale,” said Michael Seibel, CEO of Justin.tv. “Live video is far more engaging than clip video, which is why we’ve seen such tremendous growth in the past year.”
