All the credit for sudden boost in the mobile uploads goes to high end mobile phones in market. Moreover, YouTube’ dedicated ^[3] page for mobile upload and watching clips is impressive.

Not staying behind is the Qik, live video streaming application for mobiles. It recently announced its grand plans ^[5] of releasing the software for Android based phones. For that matter, Qik ^[6] is already available on N97 phones. Features in the current alpha release include:

• Live streaming with live chat
• Share videos to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube

Even on my twitter ^[7] timeline i occasionally encounter tweoples streaming videos on Qik. Recently a friend declared, thanks to his Nokia Smartphone he has now got into recordinghimself doing weird stuff and uploading on YouTube. And surprisingly he gets the audience.

I’m tempted to record a video of mine. Maybe i would share it here. Have you got your own YouTube/Qik stream? Share with us. We would be glad to visit since we like watching weird people :P
