Ustream BFF App Announced - Stream Live Right To Your Facebook Timeline

UStream BFF (Broadcast For Friends) is a new mobile app that uses the UStream backend to stream video to your friends via your Facebook timeline. It's a simple, bet effective system that should make streaming things like weddings, birthdays, and parties to those who can't make it much easier.

When you start BFF, it will create a new post on your Facebook timeline. That post will contain a live video stream of whatever you see on the camera on your iPhone. You can apply movie inspired filters to the video, or keep it natural. Feedback from people in your timeline will be fed right to the app so that you can see them while still recording. After you are done recording, the videos are saved on your timeline for later playback.

"Ustream has always been the first to bring live, mobile broadcasting products to market; revolutionizing the way people share life experiences," said Brad Hunstable, CEO and co-founder of Ustream. "Our unique broadcast technology enables Ustream to combine powerful live video events with the reach of social media, and the creativity of Hollywood, to turn everyday events into compelling, shared experiences."

UStream BFF will release later this month. If you want to be one of the first to use it, sign up at the UStream BFF site. For a quick video demo, check out this UStream video.
