Anything can pick up. Though I think the ability to just post videos straight to Youtube is feature enough. A live stream that ANYONE can broadcast? When everyone’s looking to be able to have access to media that doesn’t always have to be live but can be watched at anytime?

Nokia invested in Kyte, not Qik, which makes this news even more interesting.

@John Almer

is correct that Nokia invested in Qik. Another reason why I would take a strategic investment over a straight VC deal.
Does anyone know how Qik makes money?

Nokia still has a 40%+ market share worldwide.
People use mobile phones outside of North America.

Yawn. Nokia invested in Qik so I guess they are trying to salvage their investment that is going down the drain.

I heard they are having major trouble raising money.

Nokia? They used to make cell phones, right?

While many qik videos may not be interesting to everybody, they tend to be very interesting to somebody.

For example, I qik’d the ultrasound images from the first time I saw my child we’re expecting. I was then able to share that video and experience with my family and friends.

I think this story plays right into the other posting today about Cisco’s perception of future traffic and that 64% of mobile IP traffic will be video.

Well done qik!

Few people’s lives are interesting enough to broadcast regularly.

this is a huge step forward for quik and a hard backlash for bambuser and kite.
still, i am not convinced that people will actually use quik as much as expected. i remember the first days of video telephony on mobile phones (in austria in the 3 net) – everyone was talking about it but noone was using it.

Cool – I love that game. I used to play it in the arcades in the 80s. The facebook version called qilox is nowhere near as fun as the original. I wonder if I can download Qix for my Nokia N95.
