Live Streaming Video -- From Your Phone!

If you have a smart phone, you have to check this out: www.qik.com

You download an app on your phone and setup an account with Qik -- presto! You are streaming live to the web. I was literally streaming live to the web within minutes.

Qik saves your streams so you can share them later. My first video (well, first I didn't immediately delete):



I 'm no James Cameron or Anderson Cooper but think about the family and community events that can now reach the web instantly. May that be good or bad...

Edit: It didn't take me long to figure out Qik is a little slow over 3G. You really need to connect via WiFi to have a good stream.
