I have more examples in the forum post. Macrumors tech has always been the best at live blogging. For the past few years they have beaten everyone hands down with text and photos. The qik.com crowd with their N95 camera phones were crunched down too as qik servers failed, often. I did get to hear live audio from iJustine's qik feed. the video bandwidth was wasted as she must have had it on her lap and pointed to the roof. for fear, no doubt, of being detected. Wonder if they will ban n95s in future. Hmm. Twitter was useless. More at http://www.visualeditors.com including the video that shows the Steve Jobs keynote in only 60 seconds.

This is a case of an overloaded server or two and perhaps some badly written code. Honestly, if there was concern over bandwidth scarcity then why would providers be considering IPTV?
