In an effort to help audiences find YOU, we have just launched Stickam Channels. All Stickam entertainers now have the option to classify themselves on one of the following channels: Comedy, Gaming, Music, Radio, Technology, or the excitingly named Other Shows, which is our miscellaneous category. This is only the beginning and we do plan to create additional channels in the near future. These channels are in addition to Stickam’s Social section.

We need you to now classify yourself into the most appropriate channel. You can select whichever channel you want from your My Account page. After you have selected your channel, please also be sure to fill out your Tags to let people know even more about your show (eg, cooking, fashion, sports, lifecaster, etc).

VERY IMPORTANT: we also need you to upload a new profile picture that will serve as a small banner image for your show. This image will display on our Live Streams and Schedule pages and should represent the content and style of show you plan to stream. Profile images in the Channel section should be significantly different than typical profile images in the Social section. We suggest that you add text to the image to display your show’s title.



Please note: the optimal size to make your profile picture is 480 pixels x 360 pixels. This will ensure that your pic will also display clearly in your image gallery and on your Stickam player. Upload your image profile from the Edit Media page.

A good example of a Channel profile pictures:

Please also let us know your live schedule by filling out the calendar on your My Page and checking off the box that says "request to be featured." We will soon be launching a brand new Program Guide page and approved shows will be listed there.

Thanks very much for being a part of the social interactive television movement on Stickam.

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - April 16, 2008) - Stickam.com, the first and largest Web site dedicated to live interactive video streaming, has been selected as the exclusive live streamer for Operation Baghdad Pups (OBP), a campaign developed by the SPCA to rescue animals that befriend the US military in Iraq from hostile living situations. Stickam.com will broadcast a series of events that will provide updates on OBP's progress, beginning today at 2:00pm PT. The first video stream will feature an interview with Terri Crisp, program manager at OBP and long-time animal rescue activist.

During today's live session, Crisp will discuss OBP's origin and the SPCA's ongoing activity in Iraq, in addition to highlighting the program's recent successes. She will also provide a personal account of her trips to Baghdad to rescue the dogs and describe their journeys back to the US. By facilitating these sessions on Stickam.com, OBP can more easily reach and interact with its audience, as the site allows two-way, real-time streaming on the Web. This enables the audience to participate by asking questions and contributing to the discussion.

"Rescuing an animal from a war zone is a very rewarding and rigorous process. To safely bring the dogs to the US, they need to undergo vaccination, and often long quarantine periods, as well as endure medical examinations," said Crisp. "Our efforts to provide our troops' mascots with proper homes require extensive, diligent coordination that would not be possible without the generous contributions we receive. We're excited to partner with Stickam.com to keep our supporters aware of our progress, while informing new audiences of what we're doing and how they can help."

OBP has rescued six animals from the harsh conditions of Iraq. These are all dogs the US military took in as their own, serving as companions and all-around morale boosters. Through its partnership with Stickam.com, the SPCA hopes to raise additional funds to continue reuniting these animals with their human comrades in warm and happy homes back in the United States.

"As the first and largest online community dedicated to live interactive streaming, we are pleased to partner with the SPCA to help spread the word about Operation Baghdad Pups," said Steven Fruchter, chief executive officer of Stickam.com. "By enabling people around the world to view and participate in these live streams, as well as interact directly with the organization, we're helping to virally spread the word about a great cause."

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - April 9, 2008) - Stickam.com, the first and largest Web site dedicated to live interactive video streaming, today announced Grammy-nominated metalcore band Underoath will live stream directly from the studio on Stickam.com as it records its next album, slated to release on Tuesday, September 2, 2008 on Tooth & Nail Records / Solid State Records.

Through Underoath's use of Stickam.com, the band is able to provide fans with unique insight into the recording process. The site also serves as an online community, enabling Underoath to interact with viewers in addition to performing impromptu, personalized sets. Stickam.com's online delivery of the next album's production enables the band members to increase bonds with fans, communicating with them directly regardless of location, and also enhances awareness of the upcoming record.

"Stickam.com provides bands with the opportunity to connect with fans and generate anticipation for their upcoming albums virally in a community environment," said Steven Fruchter, chief executive officer of Stickam.com. "As the first Web site dedicated to live interactive streaming, we currently have the largest user base, providing musicians with a powerful platform to connect with a substantial audience, whether to perform, chat or simply provide access to their lives."

Additionally, alternative-rock band Street Drum Corps will broadcast live each day at 4:20pm PT on Stickam.com as it travels with The Used on the Rockstar Get a Life Tour. After the road show ends in mid-May, the group will begin recording its new album and plans to use Stickam.com to stream live from the studio.

Stickam.com is a strong supporter of the music community. The company attends music and film conference South by Southwest (SXSW) each year to feature interviews with up-and-coming bands, as well as host exclusive live performances. It also streams live from concerts and listening parties. Other artists have used the site to broadcast from their recording studios, including the Rascal Flatts and MxPx.
