Anyone who's dying to see more teenagers whine in real time is in for a disappointment: despite earlier indications to the contrary, a fresh report indicates that YouTube won't be entering the world of live video anytime soon.
Yes, so much for wishes of Steve Chen and other longtime YouTube employees. Michael Learmonth relayed the news about 2008 and live video earlier today, and added that 2009 looks unlikely, too, "according to a source familiar with [YouTube's] plans."
Avoiding live video seems like a sound decision, then. And if there's some tech breakthrough or the economy takes a turn for the better, this is the sort of choice that can be reversed in short order.
