Qik? What a Kick!

Tonight I was trying to find if anyone had succeeded in backing up their data store from Google App Engine applications.

In the process, I ran across an online conference which uses Qik - a video live broadcasting system. Curious, I went to the Qik site, only to find it's a live broadcasting system from your cell phone! My Motorola Q9c is one of the supported phones, so I tried it. Here's the result.





But to really get an idea of what this is like, you almost have to try it yourself.   The delay varies, but if you log in, then you see your video live, perhaps 3 or more seconds delayed.

The quality is as you might expect; it works.
