It's not quite the 10 million that YouTube says watched last week's U2 online concert, but [440,000](http://newteevee.com/2009/11/02/foo-fighters-draw-440000-live-streams-to-web-only-show/?ref=hypebot.com) tuning in to see a net only concert by the Foo Fighters via [Livestream](http://www.livestream.com/foofighters?ref=hypebot.com) and Facebook certainly shows the potential of direct online broadcasting .

440K is only 1/3 or so of the more than a million viewers that see an appearance on Kimmy Kimmel or Last Call and 1/10th of the viewers that an appearance on the Tonight Show attracts. But direct web casts which also add chat, sharing and even purchase capability to the experience provide a different kind of platform for the artist that's free of time and format restrictions (in this case a 2 hour and 45 minute concert) and attracts a more engaged fan.
