AT&T BlueRoom and iPhones at Bonnaroo

AT&T BlueRoom featured great live performances this weekend from the scene of the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester Tennessee.   One unplanned gift AT&T gave Bonnaroo fans watching from home was multiple live video streams being webcast from the iPhones in the crowd.

As I write this article, a fan is broadcasting tonight’s live Phish show on his Ustream.tv Channel to over 4700 remote viewers. The viewers can “Tweet” in a side chat panel. Once submitted, each tweet is automatically tagged with #phish and the URL of the video feed, what great promotion.

Tweets, YouTube and Facebook mobile uploads from the crowd are overloading AT&Ts bandwidth between songs. This causes the video feed to get choppy momentarily, but once a new song starts the quality returns.  Enormous use of social media and blogging has lead some media to refer to this years even at “Bloggaroo 2009″.
