Live video startupJustin.tv has released a comprehensive API for consuming, organizing and creating content on its site (ourJustin.tv API Profile). With it, the company hopes to be a platform for live video.

Fromits announcement:

“We want to make live video ubiquitous across the Web. We know there are dozens of use cases that live video would be perfect for: customer support, pay per view entertainment, remote education, collaborative gaming…the list is expanding every day. Unfortunately we can’t build all of them, there are just too many. Instead, we want to let all ofyou build these applications.”

A powerful platform will benefit Justin.tv, just as Twitter’s success is in its platform. Desktop and mobile clients make it easier to send and receive tweets. Developers have made sense of the stream of information by using the search API. Justin.tv is well placed to capitalize as live video enters the mainstream.
