Digg, who will be hosting their first ?Town Hall Meeting? on Monday 25th of February, will be utilising the live broadcasting technology to communicate with users on what?s happening at Digg, answer user questions and also discuss user suggested topics.

Brad Hunstable, the founder of Ustream.TV comments, ?Given the unique approach Digg takes towards community driven content, it makes perfect sense that they would offer live broadcasts as a compelling new way to bring the community together.?

According to Ustream.TV, over 9,000 hours of video are broadcast from their platform every day with anywhere up to 600 broadcasts taking place simultaneously.  

Former and current broadcasters that have used the Ustream.TV platform include US Presidential candidates Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, Rudolph Giuliani and stars of the popular sitcom Friends, Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow.
