Qik.com offers a video live streaming service from your mobile phone to the web. They’ve been rolling out the software for various of the main brands of phone, starting with Nokia. They’ve finally got to HTC, which is the mobile phone that I have - much to my delight.
So I’ve been experimenting with the service over the weekend. It really is pretty neat.
You can watch my live videos, streamed from my mobile phone, via Qik.com in the player below. (If I’m on now, it will say “Live” on the screen - otherwise, you can watch my archived videos.)
I think I will be using Qik as a video blog with a more personal slant in contrast to the posts that usually appear on Fusion View. I want to retain the cross-cultural magazine feel of this main blog so it’s not necessarily interesting for many of my readers to see me having a go at cooking on a Sunday evening! But for those of you who might find that fun and a bit quirky, especially those of you who know personally and/ or who enjoy video blogs (like Kenny!) , you can keep up with my live video blogging on my Qik page, which is Qik.com/yangmayooi
If you head on over to my page on Qik.com, you can also add comments and chat with me while I am streaming live.
You can also sign up for your own free account while you’re there and install the software on your mobile phone to join the fun. They now support most brands of phone, including Nokia, iPhone and HTC.
To follow my live video updates via your blog aggregator, subscribe to my RSS feed or you can also subscribe in iTunes.
For more about Qik and other online video tools and how they are changing the way we engage online, take a look at my blog The Next Big Thing: Video Conversations from earlier this year.
