Here’s video of Robert Scoble and Chris Pirillo broadcasting live at the same time on Ustream.tv. Robert had an EVDO card so he was able to broadcast from his car. Scoble was doing this as a dry run for doing a live video feed from the Web 2.0 conference on Monday. Jeremiah Owyang has more details on Scoble’s set-up here.

Chris Pirillo was hosting a live call on Ustream.tv when an earthquake hit in Mexico. The word got around on Twitter, Scoble blogged about it, and within minutes, there were over 60 people on the call. Then Chris pulled in a caller from Mexico using Skype video.

More video from earlier in the call here and here. And a video from later in the night here.
