Yahoo launch streaming tv

Yahoo have launched there streaming video service http://live.yahoo.com. With so much interest in Yahoo recently one might think that they would like to get things right. Sadly this launch has crashed already. While the service promises to be great they should have thought about how popular this service will be. They are offering a nice API with their service:

Within the API are two parts, the AJAX/Javascript side, for controlling the object embeds, and the REST API, used for determining what broadcasts and channels are available on the service.

As mashable say the service is in "pre-beta, not just the API" so maybe i'm judging them to soon. It will be interesting to see how things progress with this service - it's one to watch.
