Kyte TV Offers Rapid Video Delivery, New iPhone App

SAN FRANCISCO — UStream.tv has a new competitor in Kyte TV, and adult professionals have another way to deliver content.

Like its competitor, Kyte TV lets users produce and deliver content to a mass audience, though Kyte TV has positioned itself to compete more for the social-networking crowd.

Here's how it works: Users can shoot video of any kind, whether it be on a webcam, a mobile device or with a regular camera. They then can stream that video live to a channel on Kyte TV that will simulcast the content to their Facebook page, MySpace profile or any number of other sites.

Like UStream.tv, Kyte TV offers an interactive chat function, so audience members can comment on the action as it happens.

Where does adult fit into the Kyte world? Performers who promote themselves heavily through social-networking — and who are savvy enough to stay off the radars of those site's censors — should be able to use Kyte to quickly distribute content, such as a PG-rated live show online.

Kyte TV's presence on the Apple iPhone is also expanding. Today, the company unveiled a new app for partner companies such as MTV, the NBA, Spin Magazine and other mainstream outlets.

Although Kyte TV has no adult partners yet, its iPhone app includes some intriguing options for expansion. Users can add extra options onto their app, such as a Twitter feed, a geolocating device and event listings.
