Noah Lemas – Qik’n It…
Okay, I said I wouldn’t bore you with the details of my Droid apps. I guess I lied.
Because this Qik thing is absolutely insane…no idea why this hasn’t caught on more widely.
If you have a smartphone with a video camera, odds are that you can stream live video from your phone using the Qik platform.
A few warnings/disclaimers. When you download and install the app, and then sign up for the account, your shit is public…I mean truly public. The default settings on the Qik platform are for your vids to stream directly to the public, right down to geo-location details. When you hit that green button, make sure that what you’re filming is what you don’t mind the world seeing…because there are lurkers out there watching live Qik feeds just for their amusement. As you know, we live in a voyeuristic society. You can toggle all of your settings for maximum privacy, so you’re not stuck with the public settings, and you can choose exactly who can see your content, but you may want to take some time to learn Qik’s functionality before you start streaming video.
Private, VC funded, company for now, but keep an eye out. I’m no stockbroker, but you might want to buy this stock someday…this thing’s fricking cool!
You can find my streaming video feed here. There won’t be much there, I warn you, but if you’d like to see my son’s sporting events live, that’s the place to find them.
