By | Thu 17th April 2008 - 11:34 am

Ustream.TV is one of the hot new internet trends in the US, being one of the first sites to provide easy and free live webstreaming services. Brian Paddick is using it tomorrow night to host a live question and answer session as his website explains:

Campaign Manager Andrew Reeves said:

“The live webchat will allow Brian to hold a virtual hustings with Londoners from the comfort of their own home. Using the internet as a new way of engaging with Londoners will help Brian reach out to larger audiences and have a one-to-one dialogue with voters who would not otherwise attend political events.

“Our Ustream.TV video webchat is a pioneering first in British politics and the next step in our ambitious web campaigning programme to promote Brian’s message of change and serious solutions for London.”

UPDATE: The event is already gettting widespread media coverage, including in The Guardian.
