Qik: “What does that mean for you? It means you can now instantly share your Qik videos on Facebook the way you have been able to share photos for quite some time – directly from your mobile device. … Qik is the first mobile video service to use Facebook Connect for video uploads. So once you have streamed live using Qik, your videos are now instantly uploaded to your Facebook video collection. You can then proceed to tag, share and comment on the videos from Facebook as you would with any other Facebook photo or video. You even have the option to update your Facebook status and post a one-line story on your wall.”
MC: “This is a huge move for Qik and, as I’d imagine that all of the competition is already hard at work at rolling in Facebook Connect support as well, a huge move for the concept as a whole. Facebook is amongst a small handful of social networks that have really breached the main stream. Integrate a product properly, and you’ll be pitching your wares to one of the few online audiences that isn’t almost entirely geeks.”
Mashable: “It’s very important to note that users cannot post live video to their Facebook account, but rather only recorded videos. To compensate for this, Qik has included the option to update your Facebook status with a link to a live stream on the Qik website. – This is a cool example of a company stepping in to improve on Facebook’s existing features. With Qik also having ability to share videos via Twitter, distributing mobile video is becoming a lot simpler.”
