Hi HN !
My name is MK and before talking about the service itself, let me give you the background :<p>Back in the day when Klaz, a Starcraft audio-commentator on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/KlazartSC) was still active, with some friends we realized that commentating was just way too complicated (downloading/recording/synchronizing/uploading and if you want to do it with friends over ventrilo it's a nightmare). If it was made simple then we would probably have korean matches commentated in a billion languages and analysis/strategy video podcasts all over the place.<p>We decided to do something about it.
Two years later it's finally ready.<p>What it does is basically that you can pick any YouTube video and cast over it instantly. You can draw, put pictures and write over the video and add links to wikipedia or whatever you want. People can watch you doing all of this live, or just wait till you're finished and then watch your vod. Absolutely no software install or download or upload required. Oh yeah and you can do it together with friends too.<p>Time passed by and nowadays SC2 will probably get the most use out of it but after launching our private-Beta, we've noticed many people are using eLive for many other reasons than just casting a Starcraft match : working with friends over the web, singing karaoke, making video game reviews, doing interactive audio/video podcasts, doing translation... wow, people are just so creative !<p>Here some videos if you wish to learn more about us :
