Qik

Some of you have been viewing my Qik videos already, so I thought that now was as good a time as any to introduce them formally. I first came across Qik on Robert Scoble's blog and I thought it was a neat feature having the live video to internet on a Nokia N95 which is the smart phone I'm using. I also thought it would compete with some of the other video to net features like Kyte.tv or Ustream but as I've been using it I've also come to appreciate that its a cinch to use and has one extra feature that gives the broadcasts currency; there is a check box to send a link to my twitter account immediately. So it's kind of fun getting twitters back from friends about what they imagine I'm doing to whom in that hot tub in the second bathroom of the Hutong I'm intending to move into. Evidently my twitter chums have quite vivid imaginations!

  1. Cha Ching, I am quite courted by your yard and a huge fan of the spare bedroom which, if I may be so bold, I plan to sleep in shortly with much flair. Just one thing - the bathroom with the hot tub is presented as the second bathroom. Surely this is the first bathroom, no? Boasting an amenity that the first bathroom, altho' delightful, hasn't evolved to yet. Moxie X

  3. Putting the picture of you in your hot tub to one side for a minute, Qik is starting to open up some interesting debates and nice to see them responding: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/01/09/is-youtube-looking-at-live-streaming-video/

  4. Wow. A qik video that doesn't suck. Incidently, how much does a place like that run in China?

  5. Hi Sash. Welcome. Of course you can stay anytime and anywhere. Mi casa es zu casa.

    Thanks for the link too Jamie...wheres my prezzie?

    And hello to you too compassioninpolitics. The Hutong in the Qik video is for a very good price because it is through a local. It also has a diesel central heating system which costs a fortune to run and is not a great example of the low carbon footprint I like to keep. Normally it should go for about 4-5000 US Dollars a month.
