Qik

The new mobile streaming service Qik is great fun. I got an invitation to do some testing a little while back and I’ve been having some fun making home-grown videos on my Nokia, watching them stream live to the qik website and then out to youtube and beyond!

Qik works through an application downloaded to your mobile phone, which streams content from your phone’s built-in camera directly up to the website using your carrier’s mobile internet service.

While mid stream you can select options to automatically notify twitter followers that you are live streaming with a link to your stream.

Here’s an example of the output from Qik:

Good to hear that there will be support for Apple iPhone very soon. I will be migrating over to the iPhone when it is released in Australia on July 11.
