Whoopi Goldberg, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Jodie Foster, Brad Pitt and others streamed live……..from the wax museum 
“In 2008 it is the widespread availability of high-quality camera phones like the Nokia N95, a phone with a 5 megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss autofocus lens and supports shooting VGA video at 30fps together with the software from companies like Qik which are empowering a generation of people to be able to broadcast live streaming video from the palm of their hands just about anywhere one has access to either WiFi or wireless connectivity.”
As the days go by on World Economic Forum – we are getting a view of what our leaders are thinking. Here are some of the Qik videos.
Bono spotted on Qik. It’s a beautiful day. Don’t let it get away….
It was an amazing day here at Qik when we watched Robert Scoble interview the industry leaders across the globe. Here are some of the interviews from today:
BBC News today reported from World Economic Forum on how Qik was used as an interactive TV solution. Link to the report.
“Robert was filming Mark not with a big video camera but a small Nokia mobile phone, that sent a live video stream of the interview to his website. So far, so ambitious. Now comes the stunner. While he was doing the interview, Robert saw live on his phone screen the comments and questions posted by his viewers.”
Typing from phones can sometimes be painful – especially if you are on the move. Hence, we have been thinking how we can make it easy for Qikkers to add Titles and Tags qikly 
. Then it hit upon us – why not ask our users to “Tell us” what they are up to and we use that information to create the initial Title/Tag(s)
Starting this week we’ll start experimenting with this automated mechanism for older videos that don’t have any Tags/Titles. Then with the next release of Qik we’ll prompt Qikkers to “Tell us” what they are up to when they press “Stream”. All you need to do is then speak your answer and we’ll take care of setting the initial Title/Tag(s).
This Qik caught our eye. Super cool way of getting a bird-eye’s view of everything around you.
The past weekend was the Digital, Life and Design conference in Germany and our new Qikker Jason Calacanis, CEO of Mahalo provided us a look into the happenings there.
