Yesterday, Justin Kan took the day off from his streaming his life on the internet 24/7 via Justin.tv. He put a call out last week for a one day replacement and Pittsburgh video blogger Justine Ezarik (aka iJustine) volunteered for the job. Revver sponsored her trip out to San Francisco and she wore the camera all day on Tuesday. I ran into Justine and her friend Desiree Cramer (Justine and Desiree do the video blog “Mommy, pack my lunch”) yesterday at the Web 2.0 Expo and shot a few photos.
While we were hanging out, Jeff Evans (aka gentlegiantjeff), and Brian (bdseattle) from Lobby 1 of Justin.tv’s chat room showed up. Ironically Brian was now wearing a hat mounted camera and streaming live via Ustream.tv, just like Robert Scoble, Jeremiah Owyang and Chris Pirillo have been doing recently. Even Johnny Ham, co-founder of Ustream.tv, is now emulating Justin.tv. One day soon we are going to be surrounded by cyborgs streaming their life online.
UPDATE: Here’s iJustine’s write-up of her experience with Justin.tv.

Aww, Justine rocks! I’m so glad she got to go out there for the day.
i really liked her yesterday. she was funny and energetic and i’m really getting excited about the deal here as far as lifecasting.
there ARE people that are interesting enough to do it and do it well and she’s proof of that.
justin and crew should be hyped right now.
and just like blogging, there will be lots of people who are NOT interesting enough to lifecast.
great pics of Dez & Just! it was hilarious. i twittered 3+ hours while watching them. wish it were more than a day, but we need them back home. BARCAMP and the cold fronts snapping this Sabbath!!
its probably been pointed out before, but I this is probably just one more step on the path to perfectly recreating Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash”. Granted the Gargoyles in that book did it for information gathering purposes, but I’m sure it’ll only be a small amount of time before campus security guards and police are equipped with cameras a la Justin.tv.
hello, everybody!
I’m happy write to you!
I’m from Brazil and everyday watch, me and my friends, the justin tv.
Congratulantions.
(PS: I think have a problem. Some time we can’t see the videos, as if there is a problem in the server)
Thank you, or in portuguese, OBRIGADO.

It’s the gargoyles from Snow Crash. Prophetic.
Great idea, I wish I could watch it, I did get to watch Justin.tv while at home for a few days but now that I am gone again I am on dialup.
Good pics too!
