TwitchTV, the eSports streaming site which Justin.tv launched back in June has gone on to become the world's largest video game broadcasting community, attracting more than 8 million unique viewers per month.
The key to TwitchTV's growth has been their partner and user-centric philosophy. "Our goal at TwitchTV is to help people connect around the games they love," said Kevin Lin, COO of Justin.tv. "To that end, our partner program supports the ecosystem from the ground up by helping our broadcasters, from gaming culture curators to pro gamers, support themselves financially doing what they love - gamimg!"
TwitchTV already has more than 500 total gaming partners in their Partner Program, which has been a huge success so far. The TwitchTV partner program allows for revenue sharing, automatching transcoding, and early access to new features.
With a such a wide variety of broadcasters and a community that's getting larger every week, if you haven't already checked out some of the exciting TwitchTV streams yet you definitely should.
Have you tuned in to any awesome TwitchTV broadcasts lately? Who are some of your favorite broadcasters? Aside from my favorite StarCraft 2 player and tournament streams, I generally really love watching some of the fighting game tournament streams too.

I'm addicted to Justin.TV. I roam to and fro on Entertainment and Gaming sections. I don't like that JTV is forcing the gamers on Twitchtv. The Twitchtv interface is crude and a bother. Hopefully they'll have it slicker when they completely force us gamers to Twitchtv.

Sad you didn't mention that atleast 50% 0f TwitchTV streams are not esports streams. There are also plenty of other noncompetitive popular/new and retro games being played that are definitely worth checking out.
