ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Justin.tv

Justin.tv was a website where people could broadcast videos of themselves doing all kinds of different things. Imagine you putting on a show for your friends and family, but instead of just them watching, anyone with an internet connection could watch too!

People would share all kinds of different things on Justin.tv, like playing video games, giving makeup tutorials, or just talking to their viewers about interesting topics.

The website was started by a man named Justin Kan, who wanted to make it easy for anyone to broadcast themselves online. It was first launched in 2007, and quickly became popular with people all around the world.

Over time, Justin.tv evolved into a more specialized website called Twitch, which focused specifically on video game streaming. But for a while there, it was a really cool way for people to share their passions and interests with the world.
