Times Square has always been THE New Year's Eve hotspot. Every year hundreds of thousands of people flock to the area to watch the famous ball drop and ring in the new year. If you live far away or simply don't want to brave the cold and the crowds, you're in luck. The Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment, the organizations responsible for the yearly celebration, have announced that the festivities will be streamed live on the net in a 6 and a half hour webcast. Viewers can interact by posting comments on Facebook and Twitter and are also invited to post photos of their own New Year's Eve celebrations.
