You may have noticed that the YouTube homepage looks a little different. Want to know why? YouTube Live, of course. From 5pm PST/ 8pm EST, we will be furnishing you with three live streams direct from the Live channel, offering you direct access to everything that is happening on the Main Stage, Backstage and Off Stage at YouTube Live. And boy, is there a lot happening…

I'm watching in HD, just me and half the people on the planet. This EVENT is a moment in Web history and I can't wait to hear the Tech back-story.

Akamai handled the live video stream around the world and they did a great job, the quality on my system was fantastic.

YouTube Live was an Event with incredible energy, a concentration of creativity from the community created on YouTube. You can call it a digital Ed Sullivan Show or a Web Woodstock, maybe a A Chorus Line on-line, but people will be talking about this tomorrow.
