Netgazeti.ge, a Newscoop user in Tbilisi, Georgia, is already using
Justin.tv, albeit not through their API, only in embeds. How could the API
be used with Newscoop?

Thank you for putting the topic in the table...you reminded me of a suggestion I had and it´s about tools for live coverage. People are using all sort of things, JustinTV, one of them, but also Ustream even more interesting CoverItLive, which lets you upload pictures, receive comments, launch polls and the works during a live coverage.
my main question here is...shall we aim to be a "ready for" platform (meaning it would be easy to plug these services to Newscoop) or shall we develop our own live coverage basic solution within the core of Newscoop?
one thing to keep in mind here is the metrics, whatever they do, media need to know how many people they managed to attract, we can leave that to third parties of we just plug ourselves in but we would need to deliver some numbers if it´s "attached" to Newscoop.
