Use QIK to stream video back home

by Sherry on March 18th, 2008

QIK allows you to use your mobile phone to record video and then stream that video on to the site. What use is that while you’re traveling? I can think of a few things:

1. Taunt your friends and family back home, particularly if you’re on a hot, tropical beach, sipping drinks that come with paper umbrellas and they’re back home dealing with another snow storm.
2. Show your boss a tour of the new work site overseas.
3. Planning to surprise your girlfriend with a proposal in front of the Eiffel Tour? Share the moment with your loved ones.
4. On a similar note, if you’re having a spontaneous location wedding, let your family see the ceremony (please remember to turn the phone OFF for the honeymoon!).
5. If you have young kids who may miss you while you’re away, let them see you right around their bedtime to say good night and remind them you’ll see them in just a few more “sleeps”.

I’m not sure how much I would use it because while I know I would take a lot of pictures, I want to spend most of my time away just enjoying myself instead of worrying about technology and whatnot, but it could be fun for a short video.
