Occupy Wall Street Livestream Curator Shares Experience and Tips

At a desk densely populated by monitors in downtown Manhattan, I met Josh: Occupier, trendsetter, livestream aficionado. Josh was laid off on September 16th, the day before Occupiers arrived at Zuccotti Park. In the following days, the newly formed movement began to capture his imagination. He was incensed while watching the pepper spray events of September 24th and after was determined to get involved.
You may be asking yourself, what is livestream? And what exactly is Josh curating? Livestream is an emerging technology that allows users to broadcast and view continuous video on the internet. Josh is a livestream curator (but not in the museum sense), more like a TV programmer, the one who coordinates and embeds streams for viewing on a website.
I spoke with Josh about his role curating livestreams for the Occupy Wall Street movement and he agreed to share some insights and tips about livestreaming.
