Mike Butcher, Tech Crunch UK’s editor has covered Bambuser here in conjunction with its Android client release.

Bambuser has gained an extremely fond place in the hearts of its early adopters, they live and swear by it. And all the small conferences have gained a new audience online through such live streaming solutions. When SIME interviewed Bjorn Falkevik, one of Sweden’s early adopters of technology (and in particular Bambuser), he stood by the fact that “internet has no such thing as prime time, there is only prime space”, and guys in Bambuser nod in terrible agreement to the statement.

Good luck dudes, looking forward to taking SIME to the global online audience this year through Bambuser’s lenses.
