Twitter is so ten minutes ago. Now there’s Qik – an application that allows you to stream live video from your cell phone directly to the web or your Facebook account or to another phone. Don’t have a video camera as part of your phone? No worries, the downloaded software turns your ordinary camera phone into a cam corder while simultaneously broadcasting whatever you’re doing or looking at, to the world.Admittedly, these are early days for Qik. Not all phones support it. I tried to download it to my 3G iPhone, but it turns out I have to “jailbreak” my phone before I can proceed. Not being the adventurous type when it comes to tech devices, I searched in vain for Qik in the iPhone Apps store. Soon, I’ve been told. But if you do have a supported phone, then it’s a matter of a few clicks and away you go.To read this article by Stephen Balkam in The Huffington Post in full, see:
