With modern browsers supporting decent (now getting very fast) JS, HTML5, CSS3/4, Canvas and SVG, you can write pretty much anything. The appearance of Objective-J and Cappucino opens up new possibilities, too. (Wouldn't have thought it efficient enough, but the 280 folks have proven that wrong. And that's with current-generation JS implementations; more modern JS VM's are getting 10X and more over current.)

How would you implement justin.tv, using these technologies?

You still need Flash to make it work in the 80% of browsers that don't support that stuff.
