I love the idea. Something like this will happen soon.
There are some games developers who live stream occasionally on Twitch.tv. The results are generally visual, and feedback quick.
I wonder how much they interact with the viewers / chat. If they can take feedback from and incorporate ideas or fixes.
When I've tried streaming, I've found it hard focusing on the chat side and coding at the same time - it's probably a skill that the best games streamers have - that of paying attention to the viewers, being entertaining, and doing a good job.
The other issue is wondering why I would want to stream myself programming? The first thought was to share with others if they might find it interesting. The second was that as a home worker I might like some virtual company, and the third was that of narcissism. All three thoughts were kind of weak, and I couldn't really come up with a benefit to myself from doing it. Nevertheless I think that there is some future here with such a platform!
