Twitch.tv as the URL suffix suggests is essentially a website that involves viewing video to some capacity. However, Twitch's success is in video game streaming and what it adds to this experience is what has made it so popular in the video game community.
With thousands of channels operating at any given time, viewers can open a channel of their favourite game and view and participate via the channel chat room to any degree they wish, as all content is live. Twitch's power to bring people together around the love of games is apparent in the element of interaction. The highly successful project Twitch Plays Pokemon is a testament to this.
Many friendships, relationships and careers have been started with the help of Twitch and its community. It is the beginning of a new trend of the way we game and interact online.
