Thanksgiving is here! The turkey, football games, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and lots of time with loved ones are things that I am looking forward to this Thanksgiving, my first one in the US. Oh, and the Black Friday sales!

For all that will be happening on Thanksgiving and on Black Friday, we want Qiks of your fun and unforgettable holiday! Once again, we will be giving out a whole bunch of goodies for the best Thanksgiving moments on Qik. More swag and an iTunes gift card awaits the winner. Simply tag Thanksgiving08 to your Qik Videos – and you can check out your competition here.

Have fun and a happy Qikking Thanksgiving!

Our friends at the BBC, who experimented with Qik throughout the US Elections, are curious to know what you think of their approach here. Check out this Qik from the BBC’s Jamillah Knowles, asking you to submit your own Qiks to tell them what you think they’re getting right, what you would change, and how you think they should be using your Qiks.

Let loose with your feedback!

Thank you to everyone who shared their Halloween moments! We had very cool Qiks ranging from costume parties to families Qikking trick or treat outings to spooky décor that set the perfect mood for Halloween.

We have handpicked a winner for our Qik Halloween contest! The most entertaining (not to mention creepy) Halloween video we chose had blood oozing out of a mask – any better way to spook people this Halloween?

A goody bag of swag and $50 iTunes Voucher awaits our winner! To redeem your prize, sukh92 from Canada, simply email your name, address and cell phone number to audrey@qik.com. We will have your goodies shipped over in no time.
